The Wilson QBX Camp is a Quarterback training camp for all Fall 2024 high school freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors.

Players will run through a variety of drills using Wilson QBX Connected QB tracking technology, meaning that every ball thrown during certain drills will collect data on the throw. That throw data is valuable from a training and recruiting standpoint so a coach and player can see where they currently stand in regard to their peers. 

In addition to testing and measuring their throwing ability, all participants will receive elite QB training, premium access to the Rivals Combine, as well as a free recruiting profile on NCSAsports.org, where the athlete’s throwing metrics will be available for college coaches to review. An NCSA recruiting profile enables players throwing metrics to be searched for and discovered by more than 6,200 college football coaches in NCSA’s network. Athletes also will have free access to NCSA’s extensive library of NCAA-compliant recruiting information and advice to help them on their best path to college.

CAMP EXPERIENCE 

Quarterbacks will run through a variety of drills using Wilson QBX Connected QB tracking technology, meaning that every ball thrown during certain drills will collect data on the throw. That throw data is valuable for the player and coach, from a training and recruiting standpoint. A National Leaderboard will be published so athletes can see their data such as velocity, spiral efficiency, spin rate and release time and how they compare to their peers from across the country.

Show off your athlete’s throwing skills. Wilson QBX Data Collected:  

SPIN RATE – how fast the ball is spinning in revolutions per minute (rpm). The higher the spin rate, the faster the pass is spiraling. More rapid spinning means the ball can move easier through the air, going faster and further. A good average spin rate is over 650 rpm, with NFL QB’s consistently in the 700-800 range

SPIRAL EFFICIENCY – how tight the spiral is, on a scale of 1-100%. The tighter the spiral, the more accurate the passes generally are. NFL QB’s are consistently in the low to mid 90’s

VELOCITY – how fast the pass is moving in miles per hour. NFL QB’s can throw 54-58 mph but sit in the 45-50 range on avg throughout a game. Higher velocity means the ball arrives to target quicker. The fastest ball is not always the best ball, the culmination of all the data points is what makes a good throw

RELEASE TIME – amount of time it takes to complete throwing motion from breaking of the hands to ball leaving the fingers. Faster release helps to avoid the ball being batted down at the line of scrimmage. It also gives more time to make the right read. NFL QB’s have an average release time of 0.43 seconds, therefore the faster the can get the ball out, the better.
