Terry’s former high school teammate, Sean Queen, also from the Peach State, was another key member of the elite coaching staff. The two reunited on the field —this time, as coaches, not players— for the first time since their high school football days at Eagles Landing Christian Academy (McDonough, GA).
“Me and Sean had a lot of battles in practice throughout the years,” Terry recounted. “He was a really good player and speed is one of his strong suits. He’s a multi-state champion in football and track so I wanted him to coach the 40-yard dash at the camp. I appreciated him being there to offer his expertise.”
Terry’s successful first camp is just the beginning. He hopes to build on this momentum and bring in even more NFL and college players to inspire the next generation of athletes. With Atlanta’s deep-rooted football culture and Terry’s ties to the state, the BJT Inspire Football Camp could become a staple in the community.
Among the coaches were former Georgia Bulldogs and NFL players Latavious Brini and Quincy Carter, who worked alongside Terry to mentor the young athletes and offer hands-on coaching in speed, agility, and overall technique.
This past weekend, sports media personality and Georgia native Byron Jamar Terry turned a long-time dream into reality, hosting his first-ever football camp. The BJT (Byron Jamar Terry) Inspire Football Camp, held at Mt. Bethel Christian Academy (East Cobb, GA), provided middle school athletes with a unique opportunity to develop their skills under the guidance of former college and NFL standouts.
“The first BJT Inspire Football Camp being in Cobb County was a big deal to me. I went to college at Kennesaw State University from August 2020 – May 2023 after transferring from Point University. Cobb County and the Kennesaw Area is like another home to me. I’ve done work in the community before and the camp was an opportunity to give back.”
“It felt great to finally be able to accomplish that goal, especially a goal I’ve had in mind and have been wanting to accomplish for a long time,” shared Terry, who, back in 2018, tweeted about his dream of launching his own football camp. “I’ve worked at different camps before—football camps, and regular camps that incorporate sports—so I thought it would be really cool to have my own one day.”
“I want to thank my lord and savior Jesus Christ,” Terry said. “I want to thank everyone that had a part in making the camp such a great event like the coaches, Mt. Bethel Christian Academy for being the host site, the parents and families, the camp participants, Met Agency Sports, the media that attended the camp and such.”
Reflecting on the day, Terry felt the structure was a major success, which he modeled after college football camps he participated in as a player. The drills and stations ran smoothly, with one memorable moment coming from the 40-yard dash drill, where players weren’t just running—they were learning and improving with every rep.
“Having Brini coaching at the camp was nice…He was very energetic and was even doing some of the drills himself. He brought out the Georgia Bulldogs national championship ring too, people were very impressed. Carter being there was great as well. Having people at the camp who played college football and even professional football was good because of the advice they can give about playing football at the next level, hard work and things alike. With the camp being in Georgia, it was nice to have some Georgia bulldogs in the house.”
“The basis of the camp is inspiration and encouragement through sports. I think that was evident at the camp. Inspiring others and being a good leader, teammate and such means a lot to me. I’m so thankful and appreciative of all the support from family, friends, and such that I got for the camp and in general. It means a lot to me.”
For Terry, the most rewarding aspect was the overall response. One young athlete eagerly asked, “So when’s the next one? Is this going to be an every-week thing?” The parents, too, expressed their gratitude, snapping photos with the coaches and sharing words of encouragement.
Still, Terry knows there’s room to grow. He believes timing was his biggest obstacle, as he went from idea to execution in just a month, with logistics finalized only five days before event promotion began. He worked tirelessly to spread the word, reaching out to every school in Cobb County and beyond. However, despite the quick turnaround, 19 players showed up—a strong foundation that he believes could grow with more time. He credits the team at MET Agency Sports for their profound role in making it all come together so quickly.
