Former Warriors will host free football camp
Former quarterback Sean Schroeder’s UH career might have been short — three semesters — but it left an impression.
Schroeder’s non-profit organization — 808 Passing Academy — will hold its first camp on June 25 at the TC Ching Athletic Complex.
There is no admission fee.
The camp is open to students currently enrolled in high school. Although the camp will emphasize passing and receiving, all position players are welcomed.
Among the instructors are: Ashley Lelie, Garrett Gabriel, Miah Ostrowski, Jeremy Higgins, Cayman Shutter, Jordan Pu‘u-Robinson and Craig Cofer.
Also, quarterback guru Vince Passas is a featured instructor.
Schroeder transferred to UH in 2012 after earning a bachelor’s degree at Duke. That season he was hit about 120 times, but never complained.
The following year, his rehab from offseason surgery cost him the starter’s job. But he never complained, and eventually reclaimed the No. 1 spot.
He said the opportunity to play college football and earn an advanced education (he received a master’s degree from UH) prompted him to “pay it forward.”
His organization and sponsors will cover the camp’s expenses, including insurance.

ST & Tsaiko Blog Dogs:
What a great person of character Coach Chow’s staff recruited in Sean. While he was not overly talented, his character and grit showed many times through the seasons. While Warriors need winners, I take this type any day.
Put me in, Coach, I’m ready to play!
Great to see Warriors giving back. I admired how Sean would get continuously get knocked down only to pop back up. Look up the definition of “heart” in a dictionary and you see Sean’s picture.

I think whitey should get the cards. He was #1 and even though he didn’t follow directions exactly, he was a true local boy by posting “I ready to play” and not “I’m”.
lol.
I wish camps like this would come to neighbor islands also.
Put me in, Coach, I’m ready to play!
ST. Please thank Avis for pulling my name for the DeForest Buckner cards. I just sent you my mailing info. I was just thinking, what would DeForest Buckner say? PUT ME IN COACH!
I’m ready to play.
I will always admire Sean for how he never let up or complained when he lost his starting job despite taking a pounding the year before. He won the job back by persistence, believing and just hard work. Traits that you hope all college athletes learn and pass on.
Put me in, Coach, I’m ready to play!
