I built a free tool that gives high school football players an honest recruiting score — based on the same criteria coaches actually use. Would love feedback from people who know recruiting.
Background: I've watched too many families go through the recruiting process completely blind — spending money on showcase camps, highlight tape services, and recruiting consultants, only to get to senior year with no offers and no honest picture of where their athlete actually stood.
The problem isn't talent. It's information. Athletes and their families are guessing. College coaches are evaluating on specific criteria that nobody talks about openly.
So I built RecruitTruth.
It's a free evaluation that scores a high school athlete across the categories college programs actually use:
- Athletic measurables (sport-specific)
- Performance statistics and production
- Academic eligibility (GPA, ACT/SAT, NCAA clearinghouse)
- Film and social media presence
- Character indicators
- Recruiting activity and coach contact
The result is an RT Score (0–100) that also tells the athlete which division level they realistically fit — D1, D2, D3, NAIA, or JUCO — broken down into Safety, Best Fit, and Stretch levels.
It's completely free to complete. No credit card. No sales call.
I'm posting here because this community knows recruiting better than anyone. If something about the evaluation feels off, or there's a data point you think matters that I'm missing, I genuinely want to know.
Site is recruittruth.com if you want to take a look or share it with an athlete or family you know.
Happy to answer any questions about how the scoring works.
