I’m a high school senior – Is it too late to get recruited?

It’s not too late to get recruited if you are a senior, but your options are much more limited than if you started looking two years earlier. First, most Division I programs try to lock up top recruits before senior year starts. This means many of their 25 scholarships for the year have been given a year early and the rest of the class will be for the positions that have not been met by those recruits who have already agreed verbally.

If you are interested in DI-AA, DII, or DIII schools, your odds are still pretty good.

If you are a senior and just starting the recruiting process, following the guidelines below will tremendously help you.

Make a list of 10 schools you are interested in.

Make sure the list has a few schools at different levels. A few D1-AA schools, a few D2 schools, and a few D3 schools.

Call a coach from each of the ten schools.

Discuss with each coach your interest to play for their team. Tell them how you can be a great contribution to their team. Is it your special teams play? Position skills? Leadership?

Send the Coaches your highlight video.

Mail your highlight video to each coach.

A coach will need to see you video if he is going to take a chance on you. Your video is the greatest marketing tool you can use during this process.

In Conclusion

You’re in a tough situation because of the circumstances, but if you put some effort in now, you can get recruited. Coaches recruiting lists will not be completely filled yet so they are still waiting on that last piece to this recruiting class.

Have your priorities in order and follow the steps above. Make sure to go after the division II and III colleges because they are more likely to have spots open.

Do not give up.
