Getting recruited-you have ✌🏿 choices-accept the way things are or complain about how you think they should be. The first thing I tell athletes to do is look at the depth chart of the position for the school you want to attend. Do you see any players who look like you? 🧵

@The__Bluebloods Just looking at the Patriot League numbers, based on your calculation, wouldn’t William & Mary be the 4th team at 5.9 yards per play?

Football camps are NOT a recruiting strategy.

Read that again.

[Jamie K Gaymon 🏈 @DLineRecruiting]

Start asking:

“What’s our recruiting strategy?”

That question is worth far more than any camp registration fee.

[Jamie K Gaymon 🏈 @DLineRecruiting]

If you’re a parent of a high school football player, stop asking:

“Which camps should we attend?”

[Jamie K Gaymon 🏈 @DLineRecruiting]

Showing up at a football camp without a recruiting strategy is like handing out résumés in a parking lot and hoping someone hires you.

[Jamie K Gaymon 🏈 @DLineRecruiting]

• They understand the recruiting timeline.
• They use camps to strengthen an existing recruiting process—not replace it.

Think of it this way…

[Jamie K Gaymon 🏈 @DLineRecruiting]

The players who get recruited consistently have a plan:
• They know which schools fit them.
• Their film is reaching the right coaches.
• They’re building relationships.
• They’re following up.

[Jamie K Gaymon 🏈 @DLineRecruiting]

Because recruiting starts before you step onto the field.

[Jamie K Gaymon 🏈 @DLineRecruiting]

I’ve seen talented players attend 10-15 camps and still finish their senior year with zero offers.

Why?

[Jamie K Gaymon 🏈 @DLineRecruiting]

But here’s what a camp doesn’t do…

❌ It doesn’t guarantee a coach knows who you are.
❌ It doesn’t guarantee they’ll watch your film.
❌ It doesn’t guarantee they’ll recruit you.
❌ It doesn’t guarantee a scholarship offer.

[Jamie K Gaymon 🏈 @DLineRecruiting]

It’s not.

Camps are a tool, not a strategy.

A camp can help you…
✅ Get verified measurements.
✅ Receive coaching.
✅ Compete against top talent.
✅ Potentially earn an invitation or evaluation.

[Jamie K Gaymon 🏈 @DLineRecruiting]

Read that again.

Too many parents spend thousands of dollars traveling across the country chasing football camps, believing that’s how scholarships are earned.

[Jamie K Gaymon 🏈 @DLineRecruiting]

Just saw a student athlete respond to a post saying that he’s going D1. Went to his hudl link, and saw that his gpa is currently 2.227.

The secret to success is to keep pushing and stay focused!
