RECRUITS: Although straight line speed is often what’s measured, in football speed is rarely demonstrated that way. We are looking for agile athletes who move explosively laterally & vertically. This type of speed is shown as you breakaway, take good angles, trigger & finish!.

RECRUITS: The ability to bend is a huge indicator of athleticism. Flexible players are often more durable, reactive & explosive. Make sure you’re getting proper depth in the weight room. Stretch EVERY DAY! Understand that the most common knock on recruits is that they are stiff!.

RECRUITS: There are a lot of teams who will be hitting the road in the next 2 weeks. Most because their season is over. We believe @weberstatefb that the best thing we can do for recruiting is win! We want dudes who hate to lose! Reach out if you want in on this #PurpleReign.

RECRUITS: Most offers depend on position group needs. These vary from year to year. But every year there are discussions about guys we “can’t pass on.” A can’t pass on guy has above a 2.75 core GPA, toughness, can bend, & plays with competitive speed. Be a “can’t pass on” guy!.

RECRUITS:. 7on7 Tournaments are a ton of fun. Love that athletes are involved & competing. BUT if you’re interested in recruitment to miss an unofficial visit or junior day for 7on7 is counter productive. Your 7on7 film is MUCH lower on the list of what’s used to evaluate you.

HS wideouts-too often your highlights don't tell the full story. Instead of 6 mins of deep routes, we want to see you sink your hips, transition, create separation, make contested catches, impact the game with relentless run blocking and on Special Teams. #becompletecompetitors.

RECRUITS:. Tip #2 if you’re not playing: . Email, Text or DM Pictures. - in shorts and T-shirt.- bare footed .- height & wingspan in a door frame .- next to measuring tape. Allows coaches to see exact size, body type and growth from 2019.

I’m hopeful that every HS kid who didn’t get to play football this Fall will have a chance this Spring. So many programs & levels have proven it can be done. But my prayers have a little extra something for my guys in So-Cal. Daygo & the IE need to play. too many ballers 😳.

Cool guys never reach their potential & hardly ever earn respect. The quiet, gritty, consistent warriors always make their mark & are often loved by their teammates . Being too cool to give fearless effort is one of the top limitations of talent. Don’t be too cool to be ALL IN!.

One of my favorite things as a recruiter is going to high school bball games. I love watching guys hustle, change direction, jump, run & flat compete. There is so much that translates. So I can’t wait to get out next month. RECRUITS: if in the IE or SD send me your bball schedule.
