Hampton Roads high school football players, get ready for a major opportunity. Tommy Reamon Jr., in partnership with the City of Hampton, is launching a free showcase this Friday designed to put local talent directly in front of college coaches.

The event, aptly named “The Evaluation,” will take place at Darling Stadium from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and is open to all rising freshmen through seniors. This isn't just another camp; it's a strategic platform for athletes to develop their skills and gain crucial exposure during the critical recruiting season.

Participants will go through competitive drills and skill sessions, but the real value lies in the coaching and the audience. The drills will be led by former NFL players like Chris Peace (Chargers) and Roc Carmichael (Eagles), who bring pro-level insight directly to the field.

Even more significant is the expected turnout from the sidelines. Coaches from approximately 50 schools across Hampton Roads are projected to attend, making this a prime chance for athletes to be seen. Top performers won't just earn bragging rights; they'll also be featured in Sports Illustrated and The Reamon Report, giving their recruitment profiles a powerful boost.

For Reamon, a former ODU quarterback and NFL scout, this showcase is a passion project. It serves the dual purpose of creating tangible opportunities for the next generation while honoring the legacy of his late father, Tommy Reamon Sr., a legendary figure known for his unwavering dedication to student-athletes in the community.
