PITFALLS OF RECRUITING
RECRUITING MEDIA: THE NAMES TO KNOW
THERE ARE OVER ONE MILLION HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL PLAYERS IN THE UNITED STATES
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
•
Nearly one million high school football players currently in United States
•
If each class is equally represented – 275,000 seniors playing high school football this season
•
128 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) football programs
•
•
25 scholarships per recruiting class
•
3200 available scholarships
One in every 86 high school football seniors will land an FBS scholarship
• By those numbers it would be possible for the
entire Moore School District (or a district similar) to
not have a player sign an FBS scholarship this year
DON’T BE AFRAID OF SELF PROMOTION
•
Do all you can to keep your HUDL page updated and concise
• Not every play needs to be present : start every tape with your best
•
Always show interest to the schools showing interest in you
• Don’t close any doors for yourself
•
When speaking to coaches – don’t let them forget you, but avoid being pushy
SOCIAL MEDIA: EVERYONE IS WATCHING
•
You are a brand
•
Some simple rules
• No drugs, crudeness,
or illegalities
• BUT can be used for good
STREET AGENTS/HANDLERS: NOT YOUR FRIEND
RECRUITING SERVICES: AT YOUR OWN RISK
