PHOTOS: Orlando QB shootout, Battle in the Pit combined camps

Led by Lo Wood, CEO and president of Excel Speed and Fitness Training, and Nease High football coach Collin Drafts, the fourth annual combined camp competition event, the Orlando QB Shootout and the Battle in the Pit, was back in West Orange County Saturday, July 13. 

On the campus of Central Florida Christian Academy, the camps brought together some of the most talented players from Central Florida for a day of hard work on the gridiron. 

Among the sea of campers, West and Southwest Orange County was well represented with the likes of Middle Tennesse commit and Dr. Phillips High starting quarterback Stanley Anderson-Lofton and The First Academy rising sophomore QB William Jackson — winning the accuracy challenge for the high school division — both participating in the shootout. Other Central Florida standout quarterbacks, including Notre Dame commit and Lake Mary High staring QB Noah Grubbs and Jones High QB and Miami commit Dereon Coleman, were also in attendance.

TFA football's Chancellor Barclay, a rising junior and four-star offensive lineman, was one of the counselors serving campers at the lineman-only Battle of the Pit camp.

Benefitting the Aaron Jones Foundation scholarship program, the camp was loaded with some of the best coaches and trainers from across all levels of football to provide campers an experience worth putting up with the blazing Florida sun in the middle of July.

Among the coaches serving at the camp was former Olympia High and Florida State QB — and winner of the first QB Shootout camp — Deondre Francois, former NFL first-round draft selections Karl Joseph and Brandon Meriweather and local QB trainer and former USF QB Baylin Trujillo.
