Coach tip of the week
Your grad year decides whether we ever see you
College coaches recruit by class year. We filter by it before anything else. If yours is missing or wrong, you do not show up in our search at all, no matter how good your film is. The grad year on other recruiting sites is usually wrong, and Instagram bios almost never include it. Fixing this is the single fastest way to be findable.
