I’ve seen a lot of advice on Twitter about “don’t waste money going to Power 5 camps” I know there are some money grabs out there but just understand the 9 guys below turned a $60 camp investment into a scholarship worth over $300,000
Always confused when I find a prospect on twitter and he has a shoutout to his girlfriend in his bio but no link to his film? She won't get you that scholarship your chasing!

I have the best job in the world (coaching football) because of the best men and women in the world (United States Military) who made the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you to those who have, and continue to fight for this great nation!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Every single program in the country will preach and “sell” family. Make sure you are paying attention to who is practicing that sentiment after signing day is over...

New England Football Coaches Clinic. Awesome to hear from some great coaches and see a lot of my mentors and friends. First class event as always
@Patriots
Unbelievable and disappointing day, Things have to get better, it will take all of us. Regardless of our differences, I hope we all share the same vision and goal for a better tomorrow!!
It has been really fun to watch this OL transform over our first 9 practices. Coach Blaz’s ability to convey his messages in a clear, concise manner allows these men to play at the highest level. Best is yet to come!!
Boston College players tested for COVID Friday w/zero positive results. Since June, BC has conducted more than 2,500 COVID tests of football players, coaches & staff w/only 1 positive test
Timing is everything. New Chancellor, New Athletic Director, New Coaching Staff. Excited to get our student-athletes into these New Facilities and upgrades to Vanderbilt Stadium!! There has never been a better time to be involved with Vanderbilt Athletics ⚓️
#VandyUnited
Of our top 7 performers on the offensive line 5 of them made the honor roll last semester. The best offensive linemen take pride in all that they do!! Nothing but your best will be tolerated!!
Very thankful for the life I live. This would be impossible if we didn’t have Veterans & active military men and women just like Tommy! Thank you Veterans!!

That means a lot of great tape for NFL scouts & GMs to see you get “tested” weekly, instead of only a handful of times a year!!

The fact that Nashville has so many companies with hubs here makes it easy for our guys to workout here with the team, then head 5 minutes from campus to build resumes and networks for their life after football through our internship program

I am very thankful to wake up every morning and do what I love! I never take this for granted and realize this is possible due to the men and women who have served and continue to serve in our nation's military. Enjoy your Memorial Day and please remember what it stands for!!
Years back my dad came home from a trip to AZ & had bought me an AZ State football jersey w/

This is from the Holocaust Memorial here in Boston. It has stuck with me ever since my parents brought us to it as children. Although this was written in 1946, the message still rings true today. We’re all in this fight vs evil/hate/racism TOGETHER. Stand up for what is right!
