The second annual K7 Foundation Gridiron Golf Tournament will bring lots of former Alabama and Auburn players to Dothan on July 21 to raise money for ALS research and now
Two football camps will be held at Rehobeth High School on July 22 – one for ages 7 through 12 and another for those in grades 9 through 12 – and some ex-Alabama and Auburn football stars along with local high school football coaches will work the event.
“We’re really wanting to give these kids an opportunity to get some high-level instruction in maybe some things they may not have time to work on during a prep week … little-bitty tips that may help them,” Martin said. “And head to head competition – one on one drills between offensive and defensive linemen, running backs and linebackers, tight ends and safeties … things like that just to see how you stand up and see how you want to compete.
“LaBrian Stewart is going to be there to work with centers. He played at Tuskegee and is real good with the centers. Edgar Walker, who was my roommate at Alabama, is going to be working strictly with defensive ends. Things like hand placement, what’s your read, how is the offensive line coming to attack you?
Martin believes the charity golf tournament at Highland Oaks involving the former football stars in combination with the camp is something the area has needed for a long time. “It’s just going to open some doors for some of these kids, hopefully, that want to play but don’t really know how to get recruited. There’s a lot of good players that get overlooked.
“The afternoon is going to be more like a combine camp like colleges do,” Martin said. “We’re going to do 40-yard dash, we’re going to do the broad jump, one-on-ones along with some instructional periods to work group specific stuff and let the coaches evaluate them.
