QUOTING CAMDEN’S COACH (Ernie Billittier, Mundelein HS)
“Camden is without a doubt one of the best players we have had in our program’s history and certainly one of the most-potent attacking threats we have ever had. He has elite athleticism to compliment his technical ability. Because he is a constant threat on goal, he can change the outcome of any game with one play. He is very dangerous off the ball and has a knack of finding dangerous positions in front of goal.
Camden is a humble and hardworking young man, and I am excited to see him continue to develop at Bradley.”
QUOTING CAMDEN’S COACH (Srgjan Smileski, FC1974)

He is a very versatile player, who gives 100 percent at every practice and game; there are no easy times for him at all. A great competitor and great leader for our team and entire group, he is always trying to encourage his teammates and friends.”
