Steve Robertson’s Southeast Select Combine!
By 662Dawg
First of all, I would like to thank Steve for letting my son and I participate in such a great event. It was an honor.
It’s great to see people like Scout.com’s Steve Robertson who put in the hard work and sincerely care about the kids of our state. Not just as football players, but as people as well.
Some of the kids that I saw participate on Saturday will draw attention from scouts that they may not have ever gotten without this camp.
It may not be a division one school that comes knocking. It might be a junior college, SWAC or NAIA program.
That’s what Steve’s combines are all about. Helping kids get looks that they may not have otherwise received.
Mississippi kids are flying under the radar year in and year out, but with the effort that Steve puts into these camps, these kids will get uncovered more and more each year.
His camps are not necessarily about helping the Jamal Peters, Malik Dear or Leo Lewis’ of the world. Those type of kids don’t need the help of a camp like this to get on a recruiting radar.
It’s about helping the young men who may not have the financial resources to pay for camps, or the kids that may be competing for that smaller school get some recognition.
His main goal at hand is getting kids looks from 4 year schools & Jucos.

What’s amazing about his camps is that they are free. The kids do not spend a dime to participate in one of his camps.
Another thing that impressed me about Steve is not one time did I see or hear of him trying to sway a kid to one school or another. His interest is helping the kid gain notoriety whether it be gaining interest from Ole Miss, Southern Mississippi, Jackson State or Mississippi State.
In fact, the first thing he said to me was, “please do not wear any MSU apparel, because we do not want to show favoritism and this camp isn’t about swaying kids to State”.
Today was my first time to meet Steve Robertson and he left a great impression on both me and my son.
From his speech to the kids, to his sincere feelings about helping get them noticed by a four year college (or even a junior college that may lead to future looks from four year colleges), it was impressive and I’m proud to say that I was a part of it.
I’ll leave you with a name that you better get familiar with – Keshon Heard. What an impressive kid and athlete.
Thanks for everything, Steve. Saturday was great for me, my son and our great state!
