their highlights from camp that can be used for your college
recruiting or to keep as a memento. This camp also provides exposure to collegiate programs for
upperclassmen. Last year, our camp and videos helped 18 seniors earn athletic or academic
scholarships. This
coming year’s signing day will be on February 5, 2014. Sample videos: Tyler Newsome- Notre Dame commit after our SSC- Class of '14 Charting FG's
Class of '13 Senior (Last Year) Devin Holdeman - Long
Snapper - after SSC received full academic offer to Trinity
International University and is red shirted this season- LS Charting
Almost all videos were the direct result of guys that
moved onto the next level because they didn't have good HUDL film, and they
were sending our videos out. Plus Coach Jackson & Husby sent them out on the athlete's behalf. These videos were deemed icing on the cake or the
affirmation/confirmation for various scholarship offers.
