Humphries To Staff Elite Manning Passing Academy
5/10/2016 1:44:00 PM | Football
Senior quarterback KD Humphries has been invited to serve as a counselor at the prestigious Manning Passing Academy this summer.
The MPA, run by the Manning family, is one the of the most elite football camps in the country for student-athletes who are eighth graders to seniors that play quarterback, running back, wide receiver or tight end. The camp is also staffed by some of the top college position players in the nation as counselors. Of the 15 quarterbacks taken in the 2016 NFL Draft, nine served as counselors last year, including the No. 1 overall pick, Jared Goff of California.
"I am very excited about the opportunity the Manning's have given KD," said head coach Mitch Stewart. "I am also very happy they get a chance to meet a young man like KD. He is a great ambassador for this program and an even better ambassador for the game of football."
Humphries is coming off an incredible junior season in which he led the nation in completions per game at 30.00, passing yards per game at 342.5 and total passing yards at 3,778. His 3,778 passing yards were also a school single-season record, as was his 532 attempts. Heading into the 2016 season, Humphries has been referred to by STATS.com "one of the top FCS quarterback candidates for the 2017 NFL Draft" and InsideThePylon.com has said that he "might be the best [2017 NFL Draft] prospect from [the FCS]."
The 2016 Manning Passing Academy will take place June 23-26 at Nicholls State University in Thibodeaux, Louisiana.
