Combine Academy's big three of Trentyn Flowers, Silas Demary Jr. and Rakease Passmore have been the main attractions in Lincolnton, N.C.
LINCOLNTON, N.C. – Roughly 38 miles north of Bank of America Stadium, where Baker Mayfield and the Carolina Panthers hold serve on the gridiron, the glorious September sun beams through majestic, 80-year-old oak trees and blankets the 52-acre campus at Combine Academy.
The boarding school sits near the middle of Lincolnton, North Carolina, a city that oozes southern charm, where chain restaurants are scarce, Mom-and-pop shops thrive, and 10-foot-tall cornstalks provide an ethereal backdrop for the boundless porch swings.
