After sending 10 of his seniors off to play college football, Vicksburg High’s football coach is back to getting his current batch of players exposure for the next level.

Coach Marcus Rogers took about 10 of his players to satellite camps at the New Orleans Saints’ practice facility and Jones Community College last weekend.

“(Louisiana State University) hosted a satellite camp. The likes of Louisiana Tech, Louisiana-Monroe, Lafayette, Tulane, Nicholls State, Northwestern State, Grambling, Southern, McNeese State; all of the Louisiana Division I and Division I-AA schools were in attendance,” Rogers said. “LSU’s whole coaching staff was there. Most other schools just brought coordinators and a couple of position coaches.”

Players went through combine testing with the usual drills of the 40-yard dash, vertical jump and the standing broad jump. Camp personnel recorded height and weight measurements before they broke off into position drills.

Position drills were run by coaches from different universities to assess players’ talents.

“Our kids excelled,” Rogers said. “That’s always a good thing for a kid going to a camp to be with coaches that’s coaching at the school and they get to see you with the eye test.”

Rogers said tight end Kirk Parker, with his 6-foot-6-inch, 250-pound stature, was the tallest player on the field and drew interest from the LSU coaching staff.

Rogers also spoke highly of the performances from receivers Raheam Moore, Jeff Scott and DeAngelo Dixon.

“Raheam Moore did what he usually do, go up and make plays and all those schools are on him. Jeff Scott is a kid that’s all over the radar. He looked well, as well as DeAngelo Dixon. (Dixon) is a kid who played well in the spring game and he showed up at the camp,” Rogers said. “Like I tell him and Kirk with their size, it’s hard to find those type kids and they’re A, B kids.”

Gabriel Washington, Michael Sullivan and Elmer Johnson also went with Rogers down to “The Big Easy.”

On Sunday, Rogers and the team gassed up and traveled to Jones Community College to work out in front of the USC’s — South Carolina and Southern California — and players were offered scholarships on the spot.

“Raheam received an offer, Kirk received an offer, Kordell Watts received an offer,” Rogers said. “It was a real good event. It was some good ball players out there and they’re supposed to be meeting and call me about some more kids they want to offer this season.”

The Gators’ summer tour will continue later this week. On Thursday, the team will travel to Woodlawn High School in Stockbridge, Ga., for the Minority Coaches Association of Georgia’s Football Academy.

Confirmed guest coaches will represent 107 universities such as Tulane, Bethune-Cookman, Marshall, Jackson State, North Carolina A&T, Troy, Georgia Tech, Morehouse, Tuskegee and Virginia Tech.

With the exception of LSU, the 13 remaining Southeastern Conference schools will be represented as well.

“We’re talking about a camp that’s going to go from Division I to all the way to Division III,” Rogers said. “I want to get my kids exposed. That’s the biggest deal today, exposure, and if we’re going to do it, we’re going to do it in front of coaching staffs.”
