I feel like it’s a great job that they get the high schools out here and get the opportunity to see it,” Wilson said. “(The kids can learn) how to prepare. Just that their dream is possible coming from the same high school I did to come here and play professional football. I hope it gives them a little pep in their step of what they want to accomplish.”

“Albert does a great job. He gives back to the community, he’s always coming back to the school and he’s always there for us when we need him. He’s a great role model for these kids and now they actually get to see him on the field here locally,” Port St. Lucie High School Head Football Coach Chris Dent said. “I grew up down here and I used to sit in these bleachers and watch the Dolphins training camp and now I’m on the field.
