How To Get Recruited For College Football
Written By: Gridiron Elite Training
Many high school football players are lost in college football recruiting. It may be your dream to play college football as a high school football player. You care about your academic and athletic future. Earning a football scholarship can be one of the most exciting days of your life.
College Football Recruiting - How To Get Recruited
We want to personally thank Jamin Elliott (Super Bowl Champion and NSR Regional Director of Scouting) for providing this valuable information to help football players get recruited. This information will help guide you through the recruiting process.
We’re pretty confident that you are reading this because you are an athlete that wants to play college football and is looking for football recruiting help (or a parent of an athlete that is looking to play college football).

College Football Recruiting Rankings
There are over 1 million high school football players in the nation. Only about 7% of high school football players can play at the college level. Out of the 7%, only around 2% will play at the Division 1 level.
According to rivals.com, Texas A&M topped the recruiting charts for the 2022 class with 30 commits. They had 6 “5 Star” recruits and 20 “4 Star” recruits. Next on the football recruiting rankings were Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, and Texas.
We want you to understand that recruiting is not about attending the most prominent or influential conference school. If you can play and are good enough, there is a place for you.
It’s all about finding the school that fits your athletic and academic abilities and welcomes you socially.
And if you only lock into the BIG D1 schools, you will miss a significant opportunity to connect with other schools willing to give you a scholarship and maybe a better fit for you.
College Football Recruiting Tips
We asked Jamin Elliott to give us his top tips all athletes must know if they want to start getting recruited for football.
Jamin says, “Evaluation and watch lists start early! Do not wait until your junior year to get serious. The later you wait, the lower you are on the coach’s prospect list and the less likely you will receive an offer.
Also, Jamin says, “it is important to immediately branch within the NCAA that certifies whether you are academically eligible to compete in NCAA D1 or D2 athletics”.
You can do that here: ncaa.org/eligibility.
Finally, Jamin said, “Remember, it is NOT your coach’s responsibility to get you to college. It’s yours. Nothing in his job description says he has to help you get to college.”
