Snyder’s Football Camp Helps ‘Give Back’ To Region Where He Grew Up, Thrived

Cole Snyder had a high school career full of highlights on Charles A. Lawson Field.

The Southwestern Central School alumni and current University at Buffalo starting quarterback will have one more on Saturday with the 2023 Cole Snyder 2023 Cecret Sauce Football Camp on his old high school field. Camp is for area youth between eighth and 12th grades.

In addition to Snyder, seven of his UB teammates will be at Southwestern on Saturday as well as John Kinder, a former Syracuse University quarterback who played under former NFL head coach Doug Marrone and current NFL offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett; current Southwestern coach Jake Burkholder, Alfred University linebackers coach Casey Williams and Southwestern track and field coach Lauren Swan.

“I really just wanted to give back to the community that raised me,” Snyder told The Post-Journal’s Matt Spielman last week. “I look back at my time going through high school and where I’m at now, and recognize all the people that helped me get to where I’m at … just helping me become a man. I’ve learned so much.”

Kudos to Snyder and his teammates for taking the time to spend the day working with the next generation of football players. It promises to be a day some of the area’s high school football players aren’t likely to forget — and hopefully one Snyder won’t forget anytime soon either.
