Texas lineman camps,
verified by Coach Jay.
22 verified lineman camps in Texas — 22 O-line, 20 D-line. Next up: Texas Premier Football Camp (June 25, 2026).
Texas runs the most lineman camps of any state in the country, and it isn't close. The Friday Night Lights culture funnels kids into the position younger here than anywhere else — and the camp ecosystem reflects it. OL Masterminds, Duke Manyweather's flagship offensive-line academy, is headquartered in the DFW metroplex and pulls O-line talent from across the state every summer. The Big 12 + SEC pull through UT-Austin, Texas A&M, Baylor, TCU, Houston, SMU, and Texas Tech means almost every D1 program in or adjacent to the state runs a satellite or on-campus camp where evaluators actually watch the trenches.
Coach Jay Freeman's calendar tracks Texas camps in three tiers: position-specific (the OL Masterminds tier and Trench Warfare type events), college-program (the official UT / A&M / Baylor camps where committable scholarship offers actually get extended), and recruiting showcases (FBU, Rivals, The Opening qualifiers that route through Houston, Dallas, San Antonio). If you're a Texas lineman, the question isn't whether there's a camp near you. It's which ones are actually worth the trip and which ones are just a marketing engine. The list below is the audited answer.
Why train at the line in Texas
- Highest camp density in the US. DFW + Houston + Austin + San Antonio metroplexes overlap into a four-corner training grid most other states can't match.
- OL Masterminds headquarters — the highest-leverage offensive-line academy in the country, run by Duke Manyweather.
- UT, Texas A&M, Baylor, TCU, Houston, SMU, Texas Tech all run program camps where real scholarship offers get extended to linemen.
