Nike’s elite summer high school event The Opening Finals moving to new location in 2018
Published:
Every summer, the nation’s elite football prospects descend on Nike world headquarters in Oregon to compete in skill contests, 7-on-7 competitions and of course, mingle and lightly recruit one another at The Opening Finals.
While that event isn’t going anywhere, it won’t be in Oregon this year. Nike announced Wednesday that the nation’s premier high school summer event will be held in Texas this year, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington to be exact.
Here’s a promo for the upcoming event:

Here’s a list of Opening regional events that will determine which players earn a trip to 2018 edition of The Opening Finals:
