[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my experience is for D1 football, but likely similar.

Most schools have a "recruit me" option on their website where you can enter info and videos. There are recruiting events nationwide, most D1 schools have camps. Those are a good way to get on a coach's radar but your kid has to really stand out from the crowd. OTOH, if they don't stand out from the crowd, they're not getting recruited anyway. Most of these 'camps' are showcases and the kids play 7x7 so the coaches can see how quickly they learn the playbook and how well they compete against other kids that are looking to play D1. Go to the camps at the schools you have targeted.

My son was ranked as one on the top defensive players in the state so coaches came to his games specifically to watch him. There's strict NCAA rules about who can talk to whom and when - it's all online so familiarize yourself with those.

Register with the NCAA clearinghouse so your son's profile is there. You can send film to coaches but they do get a lot of film so you may or may not hear back. A Hudl account with excellent video is important. Circle your kid so the coaches who view Hudl know who they are looking at.

DO NOT pay money to companies that say they will get you visibility, can get you recruited, etc. Most are scams.[/quote]

OP here,

Thank you! This is super helpful.
