I am thrilled to announce a new role as the Director of Player Personnel and Quality Control Assistant for @WIUFootball!

2027 Recruits: pay attention to the NCAA Recruiting Calendar.

D1 FBS schools go “Dead” on June 22nd through all July. No on-campus visits. No OV’s. Most FBS staffs will try to fill their 2027 class by the end of the week. If you don’t visit before Monday, you won’t be able to visit until the season starts.

D1 FCS schools are “Quiet” through July. Full-go with campus visits and recruiting operations.

Spots at all D1 institutions are filling up fast. My advice? Don’t pass on guaranteed money waiting for the lottery to hit.

High school specialists - @WIUFootball has a Specs Camp next Thursday, June 18th.

I’m running it.

I’ve offered high school specs the past two years at this camp. One of them is currently on our roster.

Can’t say you’re slept on if you don’t show up. #WhosNECKSt
