WYANDOTTE, OK — Wyandotte High School was the host site for the third annual Unleash the Beast Football Camp open to first through 12th graders.
The event was primarily run and facilitated by a group of former NFL players including former Miami Dolphins teammates Roosevelt Collins and Liffort Hobley.

“We tell these guys, man, what you do on the football field, it’s the same thing you learn in the classroom,” Collins said. “You have to listen to the teachers just like you listen to the coaches. You come out here and you follow instructions and you succeed. You’re finishing something that’s more important to us than anything.”
Learning from the best of the best, camp attendees went through a series of drills and stations focused on learning the fundamentals of the game.
“You’re already in classes together,” Hobley said. “Why not get together and work together in something outside of the classroom? That’s in a different setting. That’s fun. That helps you to continue to stay healthy and enjoy the time you have outside because it is beautiful out here.”
Though the camp was hosted at Wyandotte High School’s football field, the camp was open to athletes from all across the Four States and beyond.

The morning session from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. featured first through fifth graders while the afternoon session running from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. featured sixth to 12th graders.
“It’s a blessing,” Wyandotte Youth Football President Cole Brecheisen said. “I mean, heck, I just played high school football and I’ve watched these guys on TV my whole life, you know what I mean? So we’re incredibly blessed to be able to have these guys come out here and take the time and just share their wisdom and their passion and their faith with these kids.”
