VTO Sports hosted their Elite 100 showcase at Oakland High School in Nashville, TN, on Sunday April 30. The event had players registered from mainly Tennessee 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 July 7-9 at West Cabarrus High School in Concord, NC.
Coach Vince Jacobs, National Camp Director:
“The Nashville camp was had over 100 athletes registered. We hosted the camp at Oakland High, one of best programs in Tennessee. They have won the last 3 state championships. The talent level was very good. The top groups were DL, OL, RB, TE & WR. I loved the energy and comments from the fans and parents were great.”
