RECRUITING FACTS
DIVISION I COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS A MEGA MULTI MILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS
​
​Technology has increased the speed of recruiting which is the biggest part of the business.
- US Mail has become obsolete in the recruiting process - unless the area recruiter is expecting the package.
- Very few college programs can honestly say they evaluate every video that is mailed to them.
- Many times the videos that are mailed in are never viewed and evaluated.
- A lot of times the college coach will stop watching your video after 3-5 plays if you don't "jump off the screen".
- Put your highlight film together with the very best plays first to keep them watching your film.
​
​Most Division I programs are 2 years ahead of the current graduating class in recruiting.
​ - Look at the information on the University websites, Rivals and Scout.
- It is not uncommon to see the Top 100 Rising Juniors with offers already.​
- The same is always true for the Top 100 Rising Seniors.​
- These players are commonly referred to as ELITE or NATIONAL recruits.
- If you are not a Top 100 ELITE or NATIONAL recruit you need to keep reading!
​​​
​There are over 250,000 high school football seniors each year.
- There are just over 5,000 total scholarships in Division I football.
- Each Division I program usually has about 8 to 18 scholarships per year to offer - this varries.
- Less than 1% of high school football seniors will get a full scholarship to a Division 1 school.
- All colleges recruit based on their needs the various positions.
- EX: you may be a great Wide Receiver but they have 6 returners at WR and are in need of Linebackers.
- The longer you wait to expose yourself the less likely it is that you will play College Football.
- The recruiting & evaluation process begins once you become a Varsity Starter in High School.
​​​
​​Even the BIGTIME PROGRAMS don't have the budget or staff to visit every high school & see each senior.
- With their annual operating budget they usually recruit LOCALLY and the football HOT SPOTS.
- Locally means in their state and the surrounding states in their region.
- Hot Spots are states like Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, California, etc.
- Normally they only visit the FOOTBALL FACTORIES when they are in a hot spot state.
- Football Factories are the schools that win or have talented players that succeed on the college playing field.
- There are too many High Schools that are not visited by college recruiters.
- Let us make sure the recruiters see your film.
