Wednesday morning had a very familiar feel to it. The shrill blast of the coaches’ whistles, the thud of the football into gloved hands, the shouts of players and coaches during drills, and the smell of the slightly damp grass on a late spring day. Yes, Dabo Swinney’s football camps are back.
Wednesday morning was the first of 12 sessions of Swinney’s high school camps – there will be an afternoon session today, two sessions tomorrow, two sessions each on Saturday and Sunday, and two sessions each on June 10th and 11th.
The camps usually start slow, but Wednesday morning saw full parking lots around the indoor facility and across the street in Lot 5 and a number of high-profile targets on hand working out.
