Players from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School football team will help Fox prepare for its telecast of Super Bowl LIV at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami by serving as stand-ins so the network can test camera angles for the Feb. 2 NFL championship game.

Stoneman Douglas head coach Quentin Short confirmed the news Monday to Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

"They are really excited," Short said. "Should be an awesome experience."

He added: "[We'll be] running out of tunnels, sideline angles, running plays to test camera angles.
