Wilson Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The roster featured only uncommitted prospects a strong crop of underclassmen, as well as several unsigned senior names for college coaches to jump on. The sold out event featured 44 prospects in the Las Vegas area and it was a great showing to kick of the year in the State of Nevada.
The event included players in the 2025 - 2028 classes with all players running through a full workout alongside our tech partners TrackMan, Blast Motion, VALD Performance and Physical/Athletic Testing.
