The recent Nike camp in Charlottesville, Virginia, was an excellent experience for Centreville (Clifton, VA) standout Pat Sheil . The 6-7, 260 pound offensive tackle prospect boasted seven scholarship offers heading into the event – Army, Maryland, Nebraska, Syracuse, Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest. He felt it was a good opportunity to prove his abilities against other top performers and to, perhaps, raise his stock even higher than it was before.
“It was a lot of fun,” Sheil said of the Nike camp. “It was fun to compete against the best players out there. For some guys in the almost-offer range, it was a chance to have their 15 minutes of fame and hopefully raise their stock a little bit. For me, I was already a good in-state player but it helped raise me in terms of out-of-state attention.”
