These are the 6 reasons you are not FBS D1 1 Too Small 2 Too Slow 3 No aggression 4 Soft on contact 5 No quickness/Explosion. 6 Bad academics Not the size of your High School Not because your coach hates you Not because of out of position Not because of scheme Kinda simple.

Not long ago kids played football for the competition, fun and friends. Seems like kids now play football for the fame, scholarships, and ego. JV player makes 5 catches and wants to know how to get the video to college coaches. The delusion is real in High School Football today

Instead of paying thousands to be marketed by a guru or recruiting service, buy your Head Coach a coffee and sit down with him for 30 minutes and see what he can do for you. Your football coach is the best recruiting service and he is FREE.

Rules of thumb. -Never pay to play in any "ALL Star" game -No college coaches at camp? Don't GO -Paying someone to spam your video to college coaches - NOT NEEDED -Never miss team lifting/speed training -Go to college camps AKA scholarship try-outs in JUNE. -HS Coach is point man

If you are a prospect with under a 3.0 GPA and crying that no one is helping you and you are being slept on. News Flash, there are too many kids who did not screw around in the classroom to mess around with you. Should have studied when you had the chance.

Poodle's don't give birth to Great Danes. Some parents need to look in the mirror before putting D1 pressure on their kids.

If I was in the Class of 2020 right now. 1st thing I would do is take ACT prep course. 2nd thing - 100 percent weight room attendance with TEAM. 3rd thing - extra speed, agility, skills training on my own.

D3 programs do not give scholarships. But those coaches are expert's when it comes to getting you grants, aid, low interest loans, and being 1st in line to get the classes you need to graduate. Goal is little to no debt after college.

Class of 2020, 2021, 2022 football prospects. Patience is the key right now. You are not missing out on anything, the process will get to you. Focus on what you CAN control. Your effort in the classroom and the weight room. You won't regret doing extra.

Football Prospects with over a 3.8GPA and 25ACT really don't have to be that good at football to get scholarship money. There are so many colleges that need HIGH GPA/ACT kids that they are forced to take lesser players just to get them in the school. Hint Hint, Grades matter

Parents of prospects: Make sure your kid never misses a team lifting session from 8th grade till senior year. Add in a little extra positional training, hard work can do wonders. Demand above a 3.5GPA and work for it. You will open more doors with GPA than football ability.
