NORFOLK - Sunday was the second camp of four that Old Dominion football has planned this summer. It's also the second camp with Power 5 conference schools in attendance.Last week, it was the University of Michigan and Alabama. This week, it's the University of Maryland and Florida.

More than 400 kids showed up to get coached and evaluated by college coaches of all levels. "All the kids in Hampton Roads know, they can go to Old Dominion's camp, they get looked at by Old Dominion, they get looked at by Michigan, they get looked at by Wake forest...they don't have to go to all of those schools individually," says ODU head coach Bobby Wilder.

The Monarchs have another camp scheduled for Thursday afternoon at Powhatan Field. Schools scheduled to attend include: Penn State, University of Virginia, and Syracuse University.
