From a Father’s Moment to a National Platform in Orlando
For Coach Lo, the journey with Football University didn’t begin with a title, a contract, or a spotlight moment. It began the way so many meaningful stories do, as a father sitting in the stands, watching his son compete, and quietly evaluating whether the environment matched the standard he believed young athletes deserved.
“To me, FBU always stood for more than football,” Coach Lo said. “When you hear the word ‘university,’ you think about growth. Education. Development. You go in one way and come out prepared for life. That’s what FBU represents.”
That perspective would ultimately reshape not only his own path, but the footprint of FBU across Florida and beyond.
Years ago, at a modest combine in Central Florida, Coach Lo wasn’t there to coach. He was there as a dad, sandals on, eyes open, observing. While the camp itself had promise, he felt something missing: energy, urgency, purpose. So when organizers asked if he wanted to help out, he did what came naturally. He stepped onto the field, warmed up the athletes, brought intensity, and shifted the atmosphere.
What followed was a reminder of how quickly purpose can turn into opportunity.
That same weekend led to conversations with FBU leadership, including CEO Steve Quinn. Soon after, Coach Lo was invited to be part of future camps first in Orlando, then nationally. Six years ago, long before the disruptions of COVID, he found himself traveling to South Carolina for Top Gun, one of the most competitive national combines in the country. Thousands of athletes. One stage. One mission: exposure.
“You never know who’s watching,” Coach Lo said. “You never know where the road leads. But when you move with integrity, doors open.”
As his involvement deepened, so did the vision. Coach Lo began building a national team structure alongside former college players and trusted trainers, names and relationships forged through years of shared work. What started as five coaches became more than 20, traveling across Florida, impacting athletes, and mentoring fellow coaches along the way.
That foundation eventually fueled the growth of FBU’s National Championship program. Six years ago, tryouts drew roughly 60 athletes. Today, more than 300 compete for roster spots, with championships becoming the expectation rather than the exception.
“We built it brick by brick,” Coach Lo said. “People tried to tear it down. But when God puts something in front of you, and you build it with character and integrity, it stands.”
That journey came full circle in 2026, when FBU selected Orlando as the opening stop for its first camp of the year. The message was clear: Florida would set the tone for the nation.
More than 200 athletes answered the call at West Orange High School, competing for national combine invitations and All-American opportunities. Central Florida didn’t just host the moment; it owned it.
“FBU could’ve gone anywhere,” Coach Lo said. “But they chose Orlando. And the city showed up.”
Now known to many as the “Kamp King,” Coach Lo isn’t focused on titles or credit. His mission remains the same as it was when this journey began: creating platforms that elevate athletes, empower coaches, and turn moments of opportunity into lifelong direction.
Because for him, FBU isn’t just a camp.
It’s a University in every sense of the word.
