The film counts.
The film counts.
So does the transcript.
A summer camp circuit built only for high-academic football players. Six stops, one standard: compete in front of coaches from programs where admissions and athletics decide together.

Why a separate circuit
High-academic recruiting runs on a different clock.
At selective schools, a coach can love your film and still need admissions to sign off. The earlier they see both halves of your application, the more real your recruitment becomes. Most camps only show one half.
Filtered rooms
Every player clears an academic bar
Coaches at academic programs lose hours to recruits who can't get admitted. Our rosters are screened before check-in, so every rep they watch is a player they can actually pursue.
Two-sided evaluation
Verified numbers on the field and on paper
Laser-timed testing, filmed one-on-ones and team periods, plus a transcript snapshot you approve. Coaches get one clean profile with no guesswork.
Admissions literacy
Learn how the process actually works
Pre-reads, likely letters, early decision, and the Academic Index. Each camp includes a classroom session for players and parents on how academic recruiting timelines differ.

The 2027 circuit
Five regional camps. One drive to the Showcase.
Attend the stop closest to home, or several. Top performers at each regional earn an invitation to the Series Showcase at the end of the summer.
Northeast Regional
The opening stop, set in the densest region for high-academic football. A strong first test for rising juniors and seniors.
Regions and date windows are planned. Exact dates, host campuses, and pricing will be sent to the interest list first.
Format
One day, two evaluations.
Each regional runs as a single, full day. Mornings are about verified numbers. Afternoons are about football. Both end in the same profile.
MorningMeasure
Check-in & verification
Height, weight, and wingspan measured on site. Academic documents confirmed against your registration.
Dynamic warm-up
Led by strength staff. Same routine at every stop so numbers compare fairly across the circuit.
Combine testing
Laser-timed 40, pro shuttle, vertical, and broad jump. Results posted to your profile the same day.
Position school
Small groups by position, coached on technique and film-room concepts, not just drills.
Admissions session
Lunch with a talk for players and parents on pre-reads, early decision, and how academic programs build a class.
AfternoonCompete
One-on-ones
WR vs. DB, OL vs. DL, RB and LB in space. Every rep filmed from two angles.
Install & walkthrough
Learn a short install, then show you can run it. How fast you learn is part of the evaluation.
7-on-7 and inside run
Team periods with rotating units. Quarterbacks get equal reps with every receiver group.
Recruiting workshop
How to email a coach, what to send, and how to build a realistic school list across divisions.
Awards & Showcase invites
Position MVPs named. Showcase invitations announced on the field.
Who it's for
Built for players who are ready on both sides of the ball and both sides of the desk.
The Series is invite-by-application. You don't need offers or stars. You do need a record that a selective admissions office would take seriously.
If you're close but not sure, apply anyway. Course rigor, trajectory, and context all count, and we would rather read your file than have you rule yourself out.

Everyone at the table
What each person gets out of a Series stop
Parents
Understand how academic recruiting really works, from pre-reads to financial aid at schools without athletic scholarships. Ask questions in a room built for them.

Evaluate a pre-screened pool in one day. Every camper arrives with verified testing and an academic snapshot, so time goes to football instead of paperwork.
Questions
Before you sign up
When does registration open?
Registration for the 2027 season opens in early 2027. Everyone on the interest list gets dates, host campuses, and pricing before registration opens to the public.
Which college coaches will attend?
Staff attendance is confirmed stop by stop and published on each camp page once it's final. We only list coaches who have committed to attend.
Do I need to meet every academic criterion?
No. The standard is a guide, not a cutoff. We look at course rigor, grade trends, and context. If your file tells a strong academic story, apply.
Who sees my academic information?
Only you, until you approve it. Your academic snapshot is shared with a college program only after you choose to share it. We never sell or publish transcripts or scores.
Can I attend more than one stop?
Yes. Many players will attend two regionals to improve their numbers or reach a second region's coaches. Your profile keeps your best verified results.
How does the Series Showcase invite work?
Each regional names Showcase invitees by position at the end of the day, based on testing, one-on-ones, and team periods. Academic standing must also be verified.
Is this an NCAA-sanctioned event?
The Series will be run in line with NCAA camp and recruiting rules for the 2027 calendar. Details on permitted college staff participation will be posted with each stop.
