Native College Wide Receiver Holds Camp for Salt River Youth

By Andreea Miguel

Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community Recreational Services partnered with the Fiesta Bowl to host a Fiesta Bowl Youth Legacy Football Camp on Wednesday, November 6, at the Salt River Ballfield. 

There were roughly 100 youth participants who practiced a variety of football skill drills designed to improve performance and teamwork. Drills were taught by players on the Westwood High School football team and Xavier Guillory, Arizona State University’s standout wide receiver.

Guillory, a member of the Nez Perce Tribe, transferred to ASU from Idaho State. He’s a senior from Spokane, Washington. In addition to teaching the hard work and dedication of football, Guillory also shared his story and motivational messages with the youth as the camp came to an end.
