VTO Sports hosted their Elite 100 showcase at New Manchester High School in Atlanta, GA, on Sunday, March 10. The event had players registered from mainly Georgia and a few other states represented to participate. Each player got quality teaching and techniques from former college/NFL players. The highlight of the event is the one-on-one competitions where the players can show off their talents.
VTO Sports recognizes a Top 5 and a MVP in each position. They also select special underclassmen as well. Those players get invites to the All-American Challenge to be held June 28-30 in Charlotte, NC. Location is to be determined.
Coach Vince Jacobs, National Camp Director:
"It never gets old hosting our VTO Camps in the Atlanta area. This year, we hosted our camp at New Manchester HS in the south part of the city. We had a solid group of athletes leading the way with a top ranked quarterback. The defensive line group was deep and talented. We also had the most reps on the Bench in 4 years with #16 doing 40 reps. Our overall record is 45 reps 5 years ago. It was windy and little chilly in Atlanta, but the athletes competed. We are looking forward to seeing many of these athletes at the All-American Challenge this summer."
