NFL Players Making a Difference in Lincoln

This summer marks the third year of the Nebraska Football Leaders Camp. The camp, founded by former Husker and current Washington Redskins linebacker, Will Compton, is a fun, half-day camp offering instruction and inspiration.

This year’s camp on June 26th, at the Cook Pavilion, will be led again by Compton and returning players, including Kenny Bell, Jason Ankrah, Ameer Abdullah and Jeremiah Sirles. Bell and Sirles have joined Compton every year the camp has been offered.

The camp is open to all students from 3rd to 8th grade. Third through 5th graders will work with the former Huskers and current NFL players from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 5th through 8th graders will work from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Each session will include a meal and the day will end as families are invited to join campers at a Fan Zone event where campers receive autographs and have the opportunity to talk and take photos with the players. All proceeds from the camp will be donated to TeamMates (www.lincolnteammates.org). Register online today at www.nebraskafootballleaders.com.
