Swayze Bozeman to host football camp at Tri-County
Former Tri-County Academy football star and NFL player Swayze Bozeman will be coming back to his alma mater and hosting a football camp in the second week of July, he recently announced.
Bozeman is a legend at Tri-County Academy and was dominant during his playing career with the Rebels. He led the program to back-to-back state championship appearances, playing both running back and linebacker.
After his Tri-County career, Bozeman was a standout at Co-Lin Community College, where he led the team in tackles and was an all-region selection. Bozeman then signed with Southern Miss, becoming the first player since 2002 from Tri-County Academy to sign a division one football scholarship at the time.
Bozeman dealt with some injuries throughout the early parts of his career at Southern Miss, but persevered and put together a solid final season at Southern Miss in 2023, where he was an All-Sun Belt honorable mention, putting him on the radar for NFL teams.
After going undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft, Bozeman signed an undrafted free agent contract with the powerhouse Kansas City Chiefs. Bozeman worked his way onto the practice squad to start last year, but eventually was called up to the active roster later in the season.
Bozeman stayed on the active roster for the Chiefs all the way through the Super Bowl, where he tallied two tackles in the final game of the season for Kansas City.
Over the offseason, Bozeman signed a free agent contract with the Chicago Bears and will look to contribute for them next season.
The Flora native will now be coming back to give back to the community that he was born and raised in by hosting the first annual Swayze Bozeman Youth Football Camp.
The camp will be hosted at Tri-County Academy on Saturday, July 12th from 9 AM-2:30 PM. 1st-3rd grade camp will be from 9 AM-10:30 AM, 4th-6th grade camp will be from 10:45 AM-12:15 AM, and the 7-12 grade camp will be from 12:30 PM-2:30 PM.
Campers will also be given a t-shirt when participating at the camp. Registration can be accessed by using the QR code in the camp flyer posted above. Tri-County Academy is located at 400 Cox Ferry Road in Flora.
