True Story: In high school I asked a guy why he went D2 when he had 4 D1 offers. He said the D2 school showed him love first. Then he said “I would rather be a D2 schools first choice than a second or third choice at a D1 school. And that hit different. Go where you’re wanted.

Decision day is closing in, Remember this. In H.S. I asked a guy why he went D2 when he had D1 offers. He said the D2 school showed him love 1st. Then he said “I would rather be a D2 schools 1st choice than a 2nd or 3rd choice at a D1.” That hit different, go where youre wanted.

JUCO is the NEXT LEVEL.NAIA is the NEXT LEVEL.D3 is the NEXT LEVEL.D2 is the NEXT LEVEL.FCS is the NEXT LEVEL.FBS P5 is the NEXT LEVEL.FBS G5 is the NEXT LEVEL. Only 2% of H.S. Seniors play at the NEXT LEVEL! It’s about getting an EDUCATION and creating a CAREER for yourself!📚💡.

There are 53 D2 and D3 athletes on ACTIVE NFL rosters right now. That D1 or bust mentality is OVER! 👀🏈 Ballers are ballers no matter where they ball. Go EARN an education, ball out and your opportunity will present itself! 💪🏽🤙🏽.

If you need scholarship money to afford school but D2s and D1s are not tearing your door down, NAIA programs offer phenomenal opportunities to compete and win championships! Someone has to fill 77,000 spots, why not you? Don’t let your ego get in the way of your education! 💡📚💰.

If you EARN a walk-on offer, do not let ANY coach take that from you! Do not let ANY coach tell you it isn’t a “real” offer. A WALK-ON QB just won the CFP Natty! Take what’s yours and prove the doubters wrong. Go accept that offer, get admitted and START your story. 💪🏽🏆💍.

Division 3 (D3) universities and programs DO NOT offer athletic scholarships BUT they load up financial aid packages and give some of the best ACADEMIC Scholarships! Maintaining a 3.0 or higher GPA is 🔑 to earning big academic 💰! Never forget, you’re a STUDENT-athlete. 📚💰💡.

Athletes. Do not get so consumed with “I need to play well so I can get a scholarship” that you forget to enjoy your last season of high school ball. Take care of business on and off the field and your opportunity will come, I promise. Have FAITH and TRUST the process. 💡 📚 🏈.

Athletes, I am getting DMs with the question “Will D1 programs even offer 2022s anymore?!” The answer is, YES! I did not received my first D1 Scholarship offer until the end of MARCH my senior year! Keep your head up, stay positive and keep striving for your OPPORTUNITY!! 🏈🙏🏽.

DO NOT commit to a university until you have been ADMITTED and see your financial aid package! Every offer is contingent on whether or not you’re accepted and you need to be able to afford it! Massive Debt is not worth having a fancy logo on your chest! 💡📚.

I cannot hammer this enough. DO NOT panic or stress out about not having an offer right now. It’s hard to hear and even harder to accept. I promise if you relax and self-recruit yourself you will earn an offer somewhere! Have faith. Optimism is key! DMs are always open!.

If you believe youre a D1 athlete. Earning D2, D3 and NAIA offers should be easy! By the time a D1 pulls up, you should have 10+ opportunities on the board. If you have Zero offers, youre either A) Not as good as you think or B) Youre not trying hard enough to recruit yourself 🙄.

Treat all coaches with the same respect. Many of us talk, send and share film of guys. I have personally sent prospect film to at least 5 programs outside of the one I am apart of. Just because I cannot use you, doesn’t mean I don’t know a program that can. 👀🏈.

Athletes: It will take you about 8 emails to get a response from a coach. If you send them 1 email and give up, that’s on you. You need to stay disciplined in your RECRUITING. You’re asking for an opportunity (Job) so you need to be persistent and give them a reason to say YES!💡.

I personally do not offer guys based solely on stars or rankings. Telling me you’re a 3/4/5 Star means nothing to me. I need you to show me, that’s why we have a specialist camp (July 16). It gives you the opportunity to EARN a spot on our team while developing your craft.💡🏈.

Getting your first offer is going to feel amazing and confusing at the same time! So many emotions. Stay calm and remember one thing, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COMMIT right then and there. ALWAYS visit the campus before making your decision! 💡Feeling at home is the most important piece.

Ladies and Gentlemen, DO NOT choose a university based on how close you will be to your high school sweetheart. Trust me when I say this, 98% of you WILL NOT marry your high school sweetheart. Go where you will excel and flourish as an individual, student or student-athlete! 🙏🏽📚.

Why am I not being recruited?.Here is one idea. You’re not trying. You send a DM here and there and expect and offer to land in front of you. It takes hours and hours of emails/DM and follow-ups to finally get that OFFER. You need to be persistent and consistent. Send 15 per day.

If you DM a coach one time, very rarely expect a response. My DMs are full of thousands of messages just from the past month. Those who follow up with GameDay film etc. are the same ones that get noticed. If youre constantly at the top of my DMs everyday its hard to ignore you 💡.

Athletes: Reaching out to coaches and programs is YOUR job. Whether or not YOU earn an offer is based on how bad you want it and if you’re willing to do whatever it takes to EARN an offer to play college athletics. No one will be there to hold your hand anymore. Start now.💡.

Recruits, a genuine offer to a program can take days, weeks, and even months to EARN. It’s USUALLY not a 1 conversation decision. If you’re getting “offered” after 1 conversation, ASK if it is committable and then ask yourself how many 1 conversation offers are they making.💡🏈.

I turned down 2, 75%+ athletic scholarships to D1 universities to stay close to home. It happens. Do not let these “coaches” tell you D1 or bust, money or nothing, theyre EGO driven. Family at your games makes a difference. Being able to go home for the weekend makes a difference.

My biggest pet peeve is when someone shoots me a DM and says “I ONLY have 1, 2” etc. offers from D3/NAIA. Are you chasing offers? Or are you trying to find the right University for you to excel and grow as a young adult? ONLY 1 or 2 offers someone with 0 offers would love. 💡.

“Ill do anything to play in college, I just need a chance”. D3 shows love, pass. D2 shows love, pass. NAIA shows love, pass. JUCO shows love, pass. FCS/FBS shows INTEREST, what do you need from me, lets do it, Ill commit. Playing on Saturdays is a blessing, dont forget that.

Seniors: When you take your official visits DO NOT talk about your high school stats or accolades. 1) College guys do not care, they only care about how you perform for their program 2) Your stats and accolades no longer matter in college, it’s a clean slate. Do not be arrogant.

“Coach, I just need an opportunity to prove myself”. Me: Sends them a Prospect Camp invite (The opportunity they asked for). “Coach, thanks but that’s too far away.” “That weekend isn’t good for me.” Etc. You’ll never be hired before an in-person interview. Camps are interviews.

“Hey” and “Wassup” is not introducing yourself to a coach. “Hey Coach, my name is John Doe from Dallas, TX. I am an All-State running back/Accolades, my GPA is, my stats are, my Hudl link, my contact information is, my coaches contact information. Thank you for your time!” 🙏🏽🏈💡.

FCS, D2, D3 and NAIAs are not JUCOs. If you KNOW you’re only going to those universities to get college game film and move on, go to a JUCO. Programs spend time evaluating you for their program for the long run. Not 1 season. #Character 📚 🏈 💡.

When trying to find the right university. Step on campus and pretend football isn’t a deciding factor. If you do not love the campus, the atmosphere, class size, food, etc, you should not go there. Regardless of level. You’re there to EARN a degree, not to play football.💡📚.

Don’t go to a 4-year program (D2/D3) with the idea that you’ll transfer to a higher division in a year or two. Once you enter the portal, be prepared for your current program to cut ties with you regardless. You can easily be left out, stranded without a program to play for. 💡🤔.

When sending your Hudl film to a college coach, do not tell them you’re a “dawg” or “the best athlete you’ll see.” That is for them to decide. Be humble and confident but do not cross the fine line into cocky. 🤫👀.

EARNING an offer is more than “Look what I can do on the field.” Its “Look what I do off the field, in the classroom, in my community.” Its being a person of high character, having grit, overcoming adversity. If you dont possess any of those traits being an athlete doesn’t matter.
2
32
327
Athletes: Your DMs need to be OPEN! It’s unfortunate when an athlete says “Look at me” and I see no Hudl and I have no access to sending a DM. Opportunities are missed everyday because of these not so little things.
