With over 40 different collegiate football programs scheduled to attend, the best price point in the market, ample reps, top-caliber coaching, recruiting opportunities, and elite competition, there is no other event in the state that hails in comparison. This even draws the best talent in New Jersey, both far and wide, out to compete.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Speaking of top talent, here are some of the top talent I am excited to see live and in-person this Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">PSR BIG Camp Series Event Coverage</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-preview-psr-big-camp-series-big-men-that-i-must-see/">Event Preview: Big Men, Part 1</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-preview-psr-big-camp-series-skills-that-i-must-see/">Event Preview: Skills</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1271489"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003culu003ern tu003cliu003eEffective at slanting due to his size more than anything elseu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eStrong up-top and fires out hard despite being high at timesu003c/liu003ern tu003cliu003eConsistently showcases his brute strength;
