VTO Sports hosted their VTO Sports Elite 100 showcase at Citrus College in Glendora, CA on Saturday, March 19th. The event had around 135 players from all over the west coast participated. 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.
Catapult Sports, one of the top scouting services nation-wide will be at all the events to help the student-athletes with exposure. One new thing will be the new technological vest that will be available at the events.
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 July 9-10 at West Cabarrus High School in Concord, NC.
COACH VINCE JACOBS OBSERVATIONS
"Our LA camp was a major success with over 135 kids registered. The weather was perfect in sunny California, and we had a chance to see some really good talent. We had one of our largest quarterback groups of the season with over 25 QBs. We had over 30 quality wide receivers. We had really good sets of offensive and defensive linemen."
"We had one linebacker who really caught my eye. Tyler Mustain out of Pusch Ridge Christian in Arizona definitely passes the D1 look test. He seems like a really good kid. He just looked really good in the camp and was a kid that definitely stood out to me."
