Rivals Camp Series Overview

The Rivals Camp Series powered by UCReport (RCS) is where future football stars are made. Now entering its 14th season, this national showcase brings together the top high school talent in the country for elite coaching, verified testing and competition against the nation’s best. With a track record that includes more than 500 NFL alumni and dozens of first-round draft picks, Rivals Camps have become a proving ground for the next generation of college and pro standouts.

Each year, the Rivals Camp Series travels across the country to host a national lineup of events—five regional combines and five elite camps—designed to identify and elevate high school football players in the 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029 classes. Regional combines and elite camps will be held in Atlanta, Houston, Miami, Nashville and Oakland, Calif. in 2026.

The Rivals Camp Series is built around a two-day format:

• Saturday: Regional Combine
  Open to all registrants, combines test athletes in NFL-style drills, including the 40-yard dash, shuttle, vertical jump, broad jump, and height/weight measurements. These verified metrics are shared with college coaches and recruiters nationwide.
  
• Sunday: Elite Camp
  Top performers from the combine are invited back to compete in a position-specific training environment, led by former NFL players and college coaches. The day includes one-on-one competition drills and Rivals evaluations, with a chance to earn national recognition and rankings.

Today’s NFL stars began at RCS

The Rivals Camp Series doesn’t just promise exposure, it delivers results. Over 500 current NFL players participated in a Rivals Camp during their high school careers. Alumni include some of the league’s brightest stars: Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Saquon Barkley, Trevor Lawrence, Aidan Hutchinson, Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix and many more.

In the last two years alone:

• 7 of the top 10 picks in the 2023 NFL Draft were RCS alums
  
• 5 of the top 10 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft also came through the series
  
• In total, 31 first-round picks across those two drafts competed in the Rivals Camp Series
