This includes defensive backs (DBs), Linebackers (LBs), Running Backs (RBs) and Tight Ends (TEs). We want to put together the finest collection of middle school football talent in the country on one national stage.
Last year’s event featured 63 Quarterbacks from 19 states across America. There were three grade level competitions between 6th, 7th and 8th grade quarterbacks and wide receivers. Our Quarterback competition, dubbed the ‘Future 4’ is headed up by Drew Phillips by the Phillips QB Academy. It features the nation’s best Middle School Signal Callers and is an invitation only event.
