Football parents, this one’s for you.

High school goes fast, before you know your child is graduating, are they set up for what they truly want?

Most families spend this time guessing how the system works, spend money and hope coaches call.

There are many things parents don’t know about recruiting and how it truly works. I created a free Facebook page to give out advice, tips and create a community where we can all collaborate for the greater good.

No cost. No catch. Just real recruiting knowledge from someone who has evaluated, recruited numerous states, sat in recruiting meetings and lived it for 12+ years from the inside.

If you have a middle school / high school football player and your child wants to play college football, this group is for you.

Most parents wait too long to learn how college football recruiting actually works. By then, coaches have already moved on.

The truth: talent alone doesn’t get athletes recruited. Exposure, strategy, academics, film, and communication matter just as much.

At Coach Lantz Recruiting, I help high school football families understand the process, avoid costly mistakes, and create a real recruiting plan that gets attention from college coaches.

If your son wants to play at the next level — D1, D2, D3, NAIA, or JUCO — now is the time to start building his profile the right way.

I’m happy to answer questions from parents about recruiting, camps, highlight films, timelines, and what coaches are really looking for.

Okay so I've gone pretty deep into the college football recruiting world — talking to coaches, watching what actually works for high school athletes, and honestly just obsessing over why some kids get noticed and others don't. I wanted to put everything I learned into something real and useful.

And here's the thing nobody tells these kids early enough:

Camps aren't just about how good you are. They're about how prepared you are.
There are a few things coaches pick up on almost instantly that most athletes just aren't thinking about:

Your introduction. Coaches are meeting hundreds of kids in a single day. If you walk up, mumble your name, and shrug — you're gone from their memory before you even line up. But a quick, confident intro? Your name, position, class year, and one thing you do well? That sticks. Seriously, ten seconds can change everything.

Your film situation. You'd be surprised how many kids show up to a camp without an updated Hudl link ready to go. A coach shows interest, asks for your film, and you're fumbling around — that moment is gone. Have it ready to text before you even leave the parking lot.

The follow-up. This is the big one. The camp itself is just the opening. Sending a thoughtful email within 24 hours is what actually keeps you on a coach's radar. Most kids never do it. Most kids wonder why they never hear back.

I put all of this — plus email templates, a full year-by-year recruiting checklist, and a complete camp prep breakdown — into something called The Football Recruit's Playbook. Right now it's bundled with my Camp to Commitment: Summer Prospect Camp Guide since camp season is literally happening right now.
But honestly, drop any questions you have in the comments. I'm happy to help regardless. This process is too confusing and too important for kids to just figure out on their own.
