Thank you @PaceUFootball for a great camp. I had a great time competing at both long snapper and d end. I went 4-0 in defensive 1on1s. @coachgarretlynn @CoachChadWalker @CoachAmsler

@MikeBellamy50 is a dawg!!!

[Delgado Long Snapping @DelgadoLS47]

Great lesson today with @MikeBellamy50 (Montgomery HS, NJ, 2026). His goal today: “see the whole picture” when getting back in protection. He continues to dominate his summer leading up to his senior year. Also shoutout to coach @jtaiks for the assistance!
