The camp featured former NFL offensive lineman Fernando Velasco and safety Deon Grant, both native to the Augusta area, who led drills and shared professional insights with the participants.
Velasco addressed the campers directly, telling them that they possess the ability to chase and realize their football dreams, a message that resonated throughout the sessions.
Coach Furley, reflecting on the event, noted that this year’s gathering was the largest in the camp’s history, underscoring the growing interest among local youth.
Looking ahead, Furley announced that the camp will return next year for a ninth consecutive session, promising to continue the tradition of free, high‑quality instruction.
