🏈📢🏉📢🏈"REAL TALK" - Here are some estimated benchmarks for D1 football players. If your son doesn’t meet these benchmarks by let’s say SOPHOMORE year or the BEGINNING of his JUNIOR year, the analytics suggest he has LESS THAN A ONE PERCENT chance to play D1 football. Understand, the culture has shifted tremendously. College coaches are under more pressure to WIN NOW with the portal approach! So the pressure to MAKE SURE Little Johnny has what it takes has been dialed up!!!!! This is why I’ve suggested to many when im asked about this, to consider forgoing winter/spring 7v7 tournaments that I see so many going to and instead get with a trainer/track coach now. This isn’t just about scholarships anymore. It’s about CASHING CHECKS! For example, at one prominent university as a “non-starting freshman,” little Johnny has an opportunity to earn $20K. If he’s a “starting freshman”, he can earn $100k at said university. A far cry from when many former D1 scholarship athletes had just $80 left for the month from their scholarship check. This is why, as parents, you must MANAGE EXPECTATIONS for yourself & your son. Make no mistake about it, he must be EXCEPTIONAL to play D1. To keep it in perspective, Division 1- FBS is a step down from the NFL (98.7 % of NFL Draftees come from Division I, FBS + FCS). With that said, ACADEMICS is the truest opportunity. Take your Mom & Dad hat & glasses off, and understand this is not what you perceive it to be. The goal should be a FREE EDUCATION! Period!
