It brings together academically qualified high school seniors from Florida and football coaches from NCAA Division II, III and NAIA programs across the country.
The event, which runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., is open to graduating high school seniors who have not accepted a scholarship offer from a Division I program.
Participants also must meet certain academic qualifications.
The event consists of a series of tests and drills combine-style, conducted by high school coaches and former college and professional players and coaches.
The program allows for coaches to evaluate student-athletes in drills and 7-on-7 competitions. Following the day’s activities, players and university representatives will meet to discuss scholarship opportunities.
The showcase is free for all participants and colleges. For more information or to register, click here.
Last year, 61 high school student-athletes earned more than $1 million in scholarships to study and play football at NCAA Division II, III and NAIA schools.
