Football recruiting: get in front of the right college coaches

Football rosters are huge and staffs split recruiting by position and region. Getting film to the right assistant coach is most of the battle.

What college football coaches look for

  • Verified height, weight and speed.
  • Position-specific film (first clips matter most).
  • Production against quality opponents.
  • Grades and character references.

Film that works

Game film over camp footage. Lead with your 5–8 best plays, marked clearly, then a full-game cut for coaches who want more.

Numbers to have ready

Height, weight, 40 time, shuttle, position stats, GPA.

Recruiting timing

FBS contact starts earlier; FCS, D2, D3, NAIA and JUCO recruit heavily in senior year. Confirm current dates in the NCAA recruiting calendar for your sport.
