The Recruiting Landscape

The Landscape of College Football is More Competitive Than Ever

Every year, thousands of players across the country get overlooked or denied the opportunity to compete in college. In the new "Transfer Portal Era," less than 2% of high school players earn full or partial football scholarships. Five years ago, it was between 4 and 5%. It was hard then, but it is more competitive now than ever for a high school prospect to get a football scholarship.

Avoid Costly Mistakes

Recruiting Mistakes Cost You Opportunities

I share these stats with you not to scare you, but to emphasize the importance of avoiding mistakes in the recruiting process. It is important to understand the reality of the current college football landscape. Some players and their families go through the football recruiting process blind, finding out about things only after they happen. You do not want to be in your senior year saying, "I wish I had known about that earlier". These are comments I have heard over the past 25 years in this business.

Why Families Trust Recruit the Nation

Real Experience. Personal Guidance. A Proven Recruiting Process.

George Yarberry with Cooper RushA relationship-first approach built through decades of working directly with football families.

For the past 28 years, helping athletes navigate the recruiting process has been my life's work. I have worked with more than 1,000 high school athletes and families, produced several thousand recruiting highlight videos, and built a trusted reputation throughout Michigan and Ohio. That experience has taught me what works, what mistakes families commonly make, and what athletes must do to improve their recruiting situations and create opportunities to play college football.

I do not share those numbers to brag. I share them so you know that the guidance inside this membership comes from nearly three decades of real experience working directly with athletes, families, high school coaches, and college programs.
