About the Freddie Solomon Football Showcase:
Each year the Freddie Solomon Football Showcase features the top up-and-coming football talent from the Tampa Bay area and across the southeast region of the United States. This exclusive event for high school football players is modeled after the NFL combine and gives athletes the opportunity to demonstrate their physical skills and football skills in front of an audience of football scouts, members of the media and college coaches. Unique to the Freddie Solomon Football Showcase, Combine Performance Specialists first teach and coach all of the athletes on the standardized combine drills and the techniques to successfully complete each test. Athletes leave the Showcase more confident and better prepared to attend and compete at similar events.
In its previous years the showcase was called the Tampa Bay High School Football Combine, however the name was changed to honor the late Freddie Solomon for all that he did for youth athletes in Tampa Bay.
