SCHERTZ, Texas With the rise in Covid-19 cases, many Texas high schools have opted to suspend summer workouts. Several of San Antonios top football prospects have been supplementing school summer conditioning at BSA Sports Lab in Schertz and now that school workouts have been put on hold, these training sessions have become even more important. Butler has been a regular fixture at BSA Sports Lab and he said hes grateful to be able to maintain his fitness routine after Judson closed summer conditioning. Most of those in attendance are on track to play collegiate football many projected to sign with Division I FBS programs. Players, including Judson senior linebacker Donnie Moody, said they are a little nervous about a cancelled, or incomplete season.
