10th Annual National Middle School Showcase & Future 4

The 10th National Middle School Invitational Showcase presented by Football Hotbed is hosting its LEGACY event and we couldn’t be more excited about our annual gathering on one of the nation’s largest exposure platforms, Football Hotbed dot com. It all started with our Future 4 quarterback competition in 2015 and expanded to include skill players and competition on a college campus in 2016 at the University of Miami. In 2017, with the addition of the 8th-grade class of 2021, the event was now complete and included every athlete on the field (except specialists) as linemen were added to the two-day showcase camp. There is no other camp like it in the country.

What makes our event special is getting middle school kids to work out in front of college coaches without older prospects around. This focuses solely on them and allows their talents to take center stage.  Because National Middle School Invitational Showcase participants come from all over the country, being elite on this platform can come with a boatload of opportunities afterward.

This year we will be hosting our camp at a college campus on Day 1 as always and at a local high school on Day two. It will be in Coral Gables, FL on June 13 at the University of Miami on day one and at local high school in the Fort Lauderdale, FL metro area on day two on June 14, 2024.  

This event has launched dozens of careers and provided college football resumes for some top names. The first year of the Future 4 produced three Division One players in the Top 4 of the 2019 class.  Overall, 16/32 quarterbacks in the class of 2019 went on to play Division 1 football. The MVP, Spencer Rattler is about to enter the NFL draft, fresh off being name the Senior Bowl MVP after a great career at the University of South Carolina (via Oklahoma), runner-up Griffin Helm is a graduate of New Hampshire (played WR) and Dalen Menard is finishing up at New Haven college after stops at Boston College and Bowling Green.

All were on full athletic scholarships and all at the Division I level.

Just a few short months ago, Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy, a Future 4 bloodline member won a national championship as the starting quarterback.  McCarthy came to the University of Miami and was a Future 4 finalist during his 8th grade year.  He and Rattler could be the first ever draft picks from alumni of our prestigious event.
