Founded by Anderson native Ramon Robinson in 2011, EPT is dedicated to showcasing the best of the best of football student-athletes in the state of South Carolina and to assist in obtaining college scholarships. Robinson, who also coaches quarterbacks, is assisted by ChaChi Sullivan (Player Personnel/DB instructor), Bobby McGowens (Vice President/wide receiver instructor), and Rashaad Jackson (Director of Scouting/defensive line instructor).

The camp will be centrally located at Irmo High to allow prospects from across the state a shorter route to participate. Saturday evening will hold a meet and greet at Dave & Buster’s with the SC Football Hall of Fame, while the Sunday camp will include an introduction to coaches, chalk talk and classroom sessions, a guest speaker, academic advice, position drills, pass skeletons, one-on-ones, and seven-on-seven. At the end of camp, the top five at each position will square off in one-on-one situations.

Invited prospects will have a deadline to register of May 1; any spots not secured by then will be opened up to the next best available student-athletes. Walk-up slots on the day of the camp are to be determined. Student athletes will be required to bring a copy of their high school transcript to assess core GPA and, if available, standardized test score.

While BCS coaches are not allowed to attend the camp due to NCAA rules, this year’s camp will feature coaches from the FCS, Division II, and junior college levels.
