The Edwin Baker Profile
A special thanks goes out to Saginaw Valley State
University running backs coach Andre Griffin. Coach
Griffin enters his fourth year at Saginaw Valley State
University. Coach Griffin was able see the talent that the
2012 Next Level Football Camp had to offer.
Charlie Adams of the NCSA spoke at our camp this year. He has 23 years an award winning sportscaster, interviewing over 2,000 athletes who aspired to, and reached their goal of playing college sports. In South Bend, Adams covered Notre Dame, Big Ten, and college sports of all levels for 16 years. He has also interviewed the likes of Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, and Pat Summit. At the camp Charlie spoke to athletes and parents about 5 important things:
1. Recruiting Process Starts Freshman Year.
2. Coaches Don't "Discover" You! Make Yourself Known.
3. College Coaches Do Their Homework Online.
4. Be Realistic: Less Than 1% Get A D1 Full Ride!
5. Your Coach Cannot Get You A Scholarship!
