Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh will host a satellite camp at Oakland on Tuesday.
MURFREESBORO — Oakland’s elite exposure football camp will have some SEC flavor after all.
Tennessee and Vanderbilt will join Michigan and coach Jim Harbaugh on Tuesday in a satellite camp at Oakland.
Oakland coach Kevin Creasy said Harbaugh will coach quarterbacks — the position he played at Michigan and later in the NFL — at the exposure camp. Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason, a former assistant to Harbaugh at Stanford, will coach defensive backs at the camp.
Creasy hasn’t been told which coaches from Tennessee will be at the camp.
There are 13 college teams scheduled to help out at the camp, including Arkansas State, Louisville, Memphis, MTSU and Navy among other FBS schools.

Austin Peay, Eastern Kentucky, Gardner-Webb, Lindsey Wilson, Tennessee Tech and UT Martin also will be there.
“We don’t have a wide range of our players that are going to get offers from Michigan or Tennessee,” Creasy said of the other programs. “We wanted everyone to benefit from our team. Our players are being recruited by Lindsey Wilson, Austin Peay and UT Martin.
“This isn’t a one-dog pony show. I think it will be a great deal. It’s a great way to showcase our kids.”
Creasy said MTSU coach Rick Stockstill will coach running backs at the camp.
Creasy said he’s excited about the camp for his players as well as other campers, who will get an opportunity to be coached by college coaches.
“I want them to get their butts coached off,” he said. “They get some really good instruction in a three-hour window. They are going to work their tail off.”
The camp is open to any high school student.
“How many times in your life do you have an opportunity like this with them in your own backyard,” Creasy said. “A lot of our kids don’t have the funds, time or the support to drive 16 hours for a camp. This is an opportunity to shine in front of all these colleges.”
