Any football players looking for another chance to play the game? Here is your chance to make an impression on professional scouts.
It doesn't matter if you didn't play college ball or just played at the junior college level or in the SWAC or the Sun Belt or Conference USA or the SEC.
Grant Worsley, Owner and General Manager of the Jackson Showboats, with his Worsley Group has partnered with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League to host a free agent tryout on January 24, 2015.
The tryout will be held at Smith-Wills Stadium (1200 Lakeland Drive) at 1:30 pm. There is a $100, cash only, registration fee. This tryout will consist of non-padded combine testing drills and one-on-one drills.
Anyone wanting to participate needs to dress for weather conditions and to run. Other scouts for other teams could be in attendance, if possible.
To register by email, or for more information or any questions, email Danny McManus at [email protected] or Grant Worsley at 769-203-2108.
