The offensive lineman will work in the areas of pass blocking, run blocking and recognizing defensive fronts and promoting communication among the men in the trenches.
Defensively, emphasis will be in the areas of defeating or avoiding the different run blocks, perfecting skills for rushing the passer with football and hand-to-hand techniques as well as many other fundamentals.The Skills Camp for offensive and defensive players is an outstanding way to prepare players for the mental focus needed for the season as the total football atmosphere will be re-created.Players can not only work on individual techniques, but then meld those skills into the framework of offensive and defensive systems.The six practice sessions will provide the athletes, veteran and rookie alike, with an exposure to the competitive atmosphere they will encounter in the fall.This camp will begin Monday afternoon and conclude after the morning practice Wednesday to help control costs and allow UK to keep camp fees consistent.
