How do I get my son recruited for college football?

Getting recruited for college football requires a systematic approach: 1) Understand NCAA eligibility requirements and timelines, 2) Create quality highlight film that shows what coaches want to see, 3) Research and contact coaches at appropriate schools, 4) Attend the right camps and showcases, 5) Maintain strong academics. The LPT Blueprint provides step-by-step guidance on this process from an NFL veteran who has seen both sides of recruiting.

What GPA do you need to play college football?

For NCAA Division I, you need a minimum 2.3 GPA in 16 core courses. Division II requires a 2.2 GPA in 16 core courses. Division III schools set their own academic standards. However, competitive programs often look for higher GPAs. Academic eligibility is tracked through the NCAA Eligibility Center.

When should high school football players start the recruiting process?

The recruiting process should ideally start freshman year of high school. By sophomore year, athletes should have highlight film ready and begin researching schools. Junior year is critical for college camps, unofficial visits, and direct coach communication. Senior year focuses on official visits and commitment decisions. However, it's rarely too late - we've helped athletes get recruited as late as their senior year.

How much do college football scholarships cost?

College football scholarships are free to the athlete - they cover tuition, room, board, and books. Full scholarships (FBS programs) can be worth $50,000-$80,000+ per year. Division II offers partial scholarships. Division III doesn't offer athletic scholarships but provides financial aid packages. In total, LPT has helped athletes secure over $10 million in NCAA scholarships.

What do college football coaches look for in recruits?

College coaches evaluate: 1) Athletic measurables (height, weight, speed, strength), 2) Football IQ and technique shown on film, 3) Academic eligibility, 4) Character and coachability, 5) Potential for development. Coaches make decisions within the first 8 seconds of watching film, which is why proper film preparation is critical.

Is my son talented enough for college football?

Talent is just the starting point. We've helped athletes who were completely overlooked become recruited prospects. The difference is having a clear system and the right approach. With over 127 families helped and a 100% success rate since 2019, we focus on matching athletes with programs where they can succeed - from D1 to D3 and NAIA.
