MEET THE OFFENSIVE COACHES:

(1) - Coach Vince is a dedicated offensive line coach with years of experience developing strong, disciplined linemen. With a focus on fundamentals, technique, and football IQ, he works to ensure his players master the skills needed to dominate in the trenches.

He was drafted in the second round by the San Diego Chargers, went on to become a two-time Pro Bowler, and played six seasons in the NFL. He now serves as a three-time varsity offensive line coach.

Linemen at this camp will get a focused, hands-on session built on the fundamentals that separate good from great. Coach Vince leads athletes through every phase of line play — from the ground up. The day opens with stance and starts (2-point and 3-point) plus hand placement for leverage on every rep, then moves into footwork: kick-slide for pass pro, pulling and trapping mechanics, and mirror drills for lateral quickness. Run game installation covers zone and gap concepts along with pulling and trapping at the point of attack, while pass pro work hits pass sets, slide protections, big-on-big, and double-team combos — the core schemes they'll see at the next level.
