What it is
A coach's plan for a confusing process
College coaches aren't going to magically find every talented football player. You need a plan. You need quality film. You need to understand who to contact, when to contact them, and what to say.
ExceedVarsity is high school football recruiting education. We explain how recruiting really works at every level, from FBS to junior college, show you the official rules with links, and give you plain-English checklists to follow. We are not an agent, we do not place players, and we do not promise offers.
Who it's for
Built for players, and the parents behind them
Players, grades 9 to 12

Parents and guardians

Build your film

Build a target list across levels, write a clear intro email, and follow up the right way.
