@boothdweller Got a call on Tuesday that if I donate $1000 to the baseball program I'd be guaranteed tickets to each game. Boosters got them all.....

@billy_elmore Its the NCAA that we should be trolling but its so much easier to hit Kansas. How will it look though? It will look like they beat us in a high school stadium.......

🚨 HOW HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RECRUITS SHOULD REACH OUT TO COLLEGE COACHES ON SOCIAL MEDIA 🚨

Social media is a recruiting tool. Treat it professionally.

College coaches evaluate more than film:
✅ Communication
✅ Maturity
✅ Consistency
✅ Professionalism
✅ Coachability

1️⃣ Build a coach friendly profile
Include:
• Name
• Grad Year
• Position
• Height/Weight
• School & State
• GPA
• Hudl/Film Link
• Coach Contact Info

Make it easy for coaches to evaluate you.

2️⃣ Follow the RIGHT coaches
Don’t only follow the Head Coach.
Most evaluations begin with:
• Position Coach
• Area Recruiter
• Recruiting Coordinator
• Personnel Staff

3️⃣ Keep your first DM short & professional

Example:
“Coach, my name is John Smith. I’m a 2027 WR from Central HS (PA). I’m 6’1 180 with a 3.6 GPA. I wanted to introduce myself and share my film for evaluation.”

Include:
• Film Link
• Contact Info
• Coach Contact

4️⃣ Personalize messages
Do NOT copy/paste the same DM to every school.

Mention:
• Scheme fit
• Camp plans
• Visits
• Academic interests
• Why you fit their program

5️⃣ Your FILM matters more than edits
✅ Best plays first
✅ Easy to access
✅ Jersey # visible
✅ Varsity film labeled
❌ No long intros needed

6️⃣ Don’t spam coaches
No response does NOT always mean no interest.

❌ “???”
❌ “Did you watch my film?”
❌ Angry posts/messages

Be mature and professional.

7️⃣ Follow up with PURPOSE
Good reasons:
• Updated film
• New stats
• Verified testing
• Academic updates
• Camp schedule

8️⃣ Use social media wisely
Post:
✅ Film
✅ Training clips
✅ Academic achievements
✅ Team success
✅ Leadership moments

Coaches evaluate character too.

9️⃣ Tag coaches carefully
❌ Don’t tag 50 coaches in one post.

Better approach:
• DM directly
• Tag your school/recruiting staff
• Keep posts professional

🔟 Keep your high school coach involved

College coaches value communication with HS coaches because they help verify:
• Character
• Work ethic
• GPA
• Competition level
• Football IQ

1️⃣1️⃣ Don’t chase fake attention

🚨 A follow is NOT an offer
🚨 A like is NOT an offer
🚨 A camp invite is NOT an offer

REAL interest looks like:
✅ Transcript requests
✅ Live evaluations
✅ Consistent communication
✅ Campus visits
✅ Scheme conversations

🏈 BOTTOM LINE:
Be organized, respectful, coachable, and easy to evaluate.

Professionalism matters

Just because you are on a team doesn't mean you are a team.
A real team connects, commits, competes and cares for each other.
