The city of Chicago The Mecca of Football set the tone for what is shaping up to be a national movement in trench evaluation. On April 4, 2026, the Starts Up Front National & Global Recruiting Board™ officially launched its Trench Discovery Camp Tour, and one thing was made clear from the first whistle: The trenches are no longer overlooked.
The energy was electric. The competition was fierce. And the big boys showed up ready to prove a point. From dominant offensive linemen anchoring the pocket to defensive linemen showcasing elite hand combat and pass rush ability this was not just a camp. This was a statement.
