Recruiting Tips 2012

We get a lot of questions about the high school recruiting process and there is so much information out there.  I've found that NCSA offers some great tips on the college recruiting process.  They put out a number of great YouTube videos as teaching points.   Below is a list of great resources that can help you learn more about the college recruiting process.  I'll post the subject line to the video, and if you want to read/watch it, just click on the title.

I will say that these are general comments for football players of all positions.  But the recruiting process for kickers, punters and snappers is a little different and at times done a little bit later in the year.  Sometimes specialists aren't always high on the priority list to snatch up first like a 5 start QB or RB is.  But some big time Division 1 programs do recruit the top kickers in the nation as Juniors.  But I think it is still important to be active in the recruiting process as early as you can and try to get on college coaches radars.

This will also be a growing list of Recruiting information:

1.   What is my high school coach's responsibility in the recruiting process? 

2.   How long should my highlight tape be?

3.   Do I need a highlight tape to be recruited?
