Probound Sportswear Florida Bowl Comes to Tampa
Founder and CEO of Probound Sportswear, Del Price, tells us, “I’m on my way!” He says this is Probound Sportwear’s registered trademarked slogan that gives athletes a voice to announce themselves to the world and we can’t wait. In Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium on March 24, 2012, it’s Florida vs. The Nation at the Probound Sportswear Florida Bowl. This is an all-star football game putting Florida’s best against the nation’s best in 60 minutes of all out gridiron action. This bowl game provides its participants with an opportunity to showcase their talent before professional coaches and scouts, explains Del Price. Now in it’s second year, this event was the first to allow underclassmen, vying for an opportunity to go pro, to participate. The Probound Sportswear Florida Bowl is good for Florida, as it will generate revenue for the city and local businesses.
The Probound Sportswear Florida Bowl is designed to give representatives from the NFL, UFL, and other professional programs a last look at these athletes prior to the NFL draft. By helping these athletes gain exposure that they might not otherwise get, Probound Sportswear is providing them a chance to put their best foot forward. With approximately 400,000 student athletes in college football programs throughout the nation, many won’t have an opportunity to play on a stage like the Probound Sportswear Florida Bowl. And now that the NCAA has limited college football rosters to 70 players, there will be even fewer opportunities for these young men.
When we talk to Mr. Price about what he has put together, his love for the sport of football becomes apparent. We can also see that he understands the struggle of these young men and the difficult path they tread towards reaching their goal of playing professional football. Even though this isn’t the way it’s always been done, Price says, “I was willing to make a change for [these] kids so that they can make change”. He emphasizes that the Probound Sportswear Florida Bowl is for anyone and everyone that ever dreamed of making something out of themselves.
