The Sound Mind Sound Body Tri-State Football Showcase is coming to Rutgers on June 17, showcasing some of the best high school football talent in the region.

Sound Mind Sound Body is known for putting on top-tier football showcase camps. But due to new NCAA rules, college coaches can no longer attend the camp in its traditional format.

The NCAA committee's reform package was passed by the Division I Council in early April, with the rules being officially stamped by the NCAA Division I Board of Directors on April 26.

Now, NCAA coaches can only attend/work at camps held at either their own schools or other four-year NCAA member colleges, as they can no longer take part in private events.

Also, colleges can no longer hire high school or private contractors to work events on college campuses.

Hence, Sound Mind Sound Body is now partnering with a number of colleges throughout the country. And its eastern regional event will be held at Rutgers, showcasing but not limited to athletes from New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania with a splash of talent from Delaware.

Coaches from Pitt and Temple and other schools yet to be determined will be hired to work the camp, helping fill out coaching slots (as well as make the event a bigger draw), with high school coaches no longer allowed to participate.

Each FBS school now has only 10 calendar days in June and July where its coaches can visit other college camps, decreased from the unlimited allotment of days as recently as last year. However, a school's staff members can be in different locations on any one of those 10 days.

Rutgers already had four one-day position camps planned for the summer, but will incorporate Sound Mind Sound Body on June 17, due to the company's signature format and ability to attract top recruits.

"It's still gonna be a Rutgers camp but we are doing it in conjunction with, partnering with Sound Mind and Body," said Rutgers high school relations director Rick Mantz. "They've got a great format. Part of it's education with instruction period. It's fun and different from what we've done in the past. This way we can get all those kids that traditionally have been involved with that and we are looking for that to be a special event here."

The event is a revamped version of last Summer's Rutgers Tri-State Showcase held at FDU, which featured over 1,000 recruits. However, this year's version is will be a bit less robust due to a number of Rutgers' practice fields being under construction.
