Rivals will be increasing its reach from 4K kids to hosting nearly 16K of the nation's top players from around the country at its events .
At 6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT today the which can be found right here.
We are also announcing two (2) brand new camps to the Rivals Camp Series suite of events:
NEW: Rivals Quarterback Challenge[/B] - four (4) events for 80 of the top quarterbacks in that region. QBs only, no skill players. This is an accuracy competition with each player accruing points via eight different drills. The top point earner from each of the four Rivals Quarterback Challenge events will automatically move onto the Rivals Quarterback Challenge Finals to be held at M&T Bank Stadium during the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge weekend. The next eight total point earners from the four events will also be invited to the Finals. 12 Quarterbacks will then vie for the title.
NEW: Rivals Speed & Skill Challenge[/B] - two (2) events which will focus solely on the Skill players. No OL or DL invited. The Speed & Skill branding is critical to our partner, Under Armour, and we want to test out this concept with 150 players at each event.
Rivals Camp Series[/B] - Ten (10) total events around the country. Same format. Same coaching pedigree (former NFL coaches and players; former college coaches and players) manning the seven (7) positions.
Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge - to be held June 5-7 at M&T Bank Stadium once again. The Rivals Publisher Conference will be held June 4th in Baltimore. Hotel TBD. There will be no Rivals250 Underclassmen Challenge this year
Each of these four events are Presented by Under Armour. Oh, by the way, Rivals and UA signed an agreement to extend the Rivals Camp Series through the 2017 camp season - so three (3) more camp years minimum!
And last but certainly not least I am thrilled to announce the creation of the Rivals Combine Series:
NEW: Rivals Combine Series - 12 events around the country running simultaneously to the Rivals Camp Series suite of events. Rivals will host up to 1K kids at each Combine event. Each kid will receive an Under Armour compression through UA is "not" the Presenting Sponsor. These events will simply be known as the Rivals Combine Series. Each kid will go through 8 drills and will earn points both individually per event and will also receive a total score. Trophies/Awards will be given out to the Top 10 points earners from each Rivals Combine Series event. Kynon Codrington has been hired back to be the on-site manager for each Rivals Combine Series event (www.rivalscampseries.com .. . click on Combines as they will get denied at the Camp page
