Director of Player Personnel | Recruting for our MS & HS Showcases, Senior Bowl and College Tours for @footballhotbed. The nation's best exposure platform.
This is what we do that separates us from everyone else. The best players on the biggest platform. Why is it so big? Because it can kickstart your career being offered in middle school? Ask Jordan Allen, who currently plays for Georgia Tech who offered him first and when.
11 years. Thousands of athletes. Countless dreams put into motion.
From the beginning, the mission has never changed: create a national stage where elite middle school football players can compete, gain exposure, build confidence, and take their first real steps into the recruiting world.
Over the years the journey has taken us across some of college football’s biggest campuses — from the University of Miami, to Georgia Tech, to the University of Arizona, and now Year 12 at Duke University. Every stop has added another chapter to the story.
The National Middle School Invitational Showcase has become more than an event. It has become a pipeline. A proving ground. A place where future stars first stepped into the spotlight before the rankings, offers, and headlines followed.
The next generation is already on the way.
