Calder Cannons defender Rye Penny has headlined this year's testing ahead of the 2023 Coates League, impressing with his aerial prowess and agility.
Penny, who trained with Collingwood during the recent pre-season, recorded top scores across the Victorian boy's testing for both the standing vertical jump (86cm) and the running vertical jump (101cm).
The 19-year-old was also among the 10 fastest for the 20m sprint test, recording a time of 2.884 seconds.
That score was bested by Western Jets talent Rook Barry, who posted a scorching time of 2.845.
East Point product Archie Caldow led the way for the yo-yo test with a score of 22.01, while potential Brisbane father-son and 2024 draft chance Levi Ashcroft featured among the best with a score of 21.07.
Montmorency's Jake Woodward notched up the best time for the agility test at 7.84 seconds.
Sandringham Dragons talent Tarkyn O'Leary and Blackburn pair Jacob Vippond and Nathan Philactides were also ones to watch at the testing.
The Boy's 2023 Coates Talent League (previously known as the NAB League), will commence on Saturday with the Northern Knights hosting the GWS Giants Academy.
