Who we are

Recruits First is a recruiting and exposure service for high school football players. We've been here before — helping athletes who were overlooked get seen, get offers, and get to the next level. Now we're back, and our focus hasn't changed: the athlete comes first.

What we do

Most coaches never see the athletes who don't reach out. We do the reaching out. We market you, contact college coaches directly, and keep your family informed every step of the way — from first contact to signing day.

How it works

01

Evaluate

We break down your film, stats, and academics to find the right level and the right programs for you.

02

Market

We build your recruiting profile and highlight package so coaches see a prospect, not just a name.

03

Contact

We reach out to college coaches directly on your behalf — and keep following up.

04

Commit

We guide your family through visits, offers, and the decision that fits your future.

Your recruiting identity,
in one place

Not a profile sitting in a database. Your Recruits First identity updates with you — new film, new stats, a new offer, a commitment — and coaches always see the latest version of you.

We had no idea where to start. Recruits First got our son's film in front of coaches we never would have reached on our own.

I went from zero contact to three offers my senior year. They kept pushing when I didn't know what to do next.
— Athlete, committed to College Program
“
They kept us informed at every step — visits, calls, offers. It took so much stress off our family.
