<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For the second year in a row, I have been invited back to provide media coverage for&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/ScoutNickP">Coach Nick Pennisi's</a>&nbsp;PSR BIG Camp Series. Since Nick and I last worked together back circa 2012, he has gone on to build one of New Jersey's top private&nbsp;<a href="https://psrcombine.com/">camp/clinics</a>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For my money, the PSR BIG Camp Series is the single-best private camp in the state. 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:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/05/event-preview-psr-big-camp-series-qbs-amp-line-i-must-see/">Event Preview: QBs &amp;
