The final NCEC Atlanta Camp, organized by Elite Talent Football and the National College Exposure Camp, will now take place on February 15, 2026, at North Gwinnett High School. This rescheduling follows a historic winter storm that impacted the region, with ETF leadership emphasizing that athlete and coach safety drove the decision. All existing registrations will automatically transfer to the new date, requiring no further action from families.
ETF leadership stated that the event represents a powerful opportunity for athletes and families to connect, grow, and compete in an environment focused on real evaluation, opportunity, and exposure. The NCEC was created to provide Southeast athletes with a fair, structured setting for high-visibility evaluation and competition. This year's camp will showcase top-tier football talent from across the region, featuring specialized drills, skills assessments, and coaching sessions designed to elevate athletes' potential and increase their visibility to college scouts.
The coaching and evaluation team includes many seasoned professionals with years of NCAA and NFL experience. These expert coaches, evaluators, and position specialists play a crucial role in shaping the next generation of football talent. ETF founder Derrick Tatum has built a reputation for identifying and cultivating future stars, with notable alumni including Trevor Lawrence, Derrick Brown, Eric Stokes, Trayvon Mullen, and Julian Lewis, all of whom have achieved success in NCAA football and beyond.
Beyond athletic competition, the event will include special recognition components. ETF will honor state champions from various programs, celebrating their leadership and excellence both on and off the field. Additionally, the organization will present the Father of the Year Award, which acknowledges fathers who actively support their children's athletic and personal growth beyond simply cheering from the sidelines. ETF leadership emphasized that great fathers show up, sacrifice, and lead by example, playing a vital role in young athletes' success.
The camp remains open to athletes from across the Southeast region and will be held at the originally scheduled location of North Gwinnett High School.
