Former Arizona Cardinals nose tackle Andrew Billings returned to his Texas hometown of Waco this weekend to lead his annual football camp, a tradition that has become a staple for the community.
The three‑day camp unfolded at Waco ISD Stadium, where hundreds of youngsters gathered on the field and sidelines, eager to learn drills and hear Billings speak about the game.
Local high school coaches Erom Martinez and Charles Foster joined Billings, offering guidance and sharing their own experiences to help shape the sessions.
Now in its fourth year, the camp has expanded both in size and organization, with Billings noting that the logistics have become smoother and the experience more enjoyable for the participants.
A Growing Legacy
Looking ahead, Billings hopes to build on the camp’s momentum, aiming to introduce new mentorship programs and deeper community partnerships in the years to come, while emphasizing the positive ripple effect the event has on the kids who leave with not only improved skills but also a stronger sense of belonging.
