The world has plenty of options for Eric Norwood. With his first football camp in the books, he said hopes to open some options for younger athletes.

Retired from football after rehabbing from a catastrophic knee injury while playing for the Canadian Football League’s Hamilton Tiger Cats, he focuses principally on his trucking company in Georgia.

On Saturday, he and some former teammates were working on Norwood’s football camp at Swansea High.

“It worked out great. We had a good turnout, 50-plus kids,” he said. “It’s definitely a learning experience.”

Former Gamecock and now Swansea head coach Gregg Wright helped Norwood run the camp, along with former teammates Larry Freeman and Denver Broncos safety Darien Stewart.
