Football University is bringing its camp back to Connecticut for a second-straight year. The invite-only camp will be held June 18-21 at Westhill High School. This is the camp that helped both Stamford linebacker Khairi Fortt and King running back Silas Redd into the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

Players wishing to attend the camp need to register here with the registration code C2GF1. Players can be nominated to participate by a coach or a family member, but space is limited.

Today is Fairfield County high school football’s day in the national spotlight: Khairi Fortt and Silas Redd will play for the East team in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. The game will be broadcast live on NBC from the Alamodome in San Antonio starting at 1 p.m.

Fortt and Redd have a few faniliar faces on the sidelines with them: BlueStreak Sports Training’s Jay Clement and Bill Hayden are both performance training coaches for the East team.

Redd, by the way, was one of seven finalists for the U.S. Army Player of the Year Award, which went to Dillon Baxter of San Diego Mission Bay (he had 75 touchdowns this season… yes, season!).
