The second annual Deion Sanders Elite Camp will be held on Friday, in Jackson, Mississippi. It is a chance for high school prospects to get instruction and coaching, but also looks from college coaches.
HBCU football recruiting is hotter than it has ever been, and the camp will draw in coaches from all over, including other HBCUs. Here are some of the prospects to keep an eye on before, during and after the camp which will take place on Friday night at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium.

Jacobe Robinson is already committed to Boston College, but he’s still coming to Deion Sanders Elite camp. He’s listed as a quarterback by 247Sports.com – and rated the 31st best in his class – but he could also get some looks at receiver according to our sources. His brother, Jamal, will be attending the camp as well.
