Unfortunately I have been Medically Denied by the Air Force medical review board due to a surgery I had back in January that I recently found out had Failed. I’ve been Committed to Air Force Football Since January. The failure of the surgery does NOT prevent me from playing football. I am now looking for ANY opportunities to play.

@NHSRaidersFB @RecruitNavarre @CoachGBagley ***RECRUITING*** Raiders, For a high school football player, the window from May through the end of summer is the most critical period for college recruiting. This is known as the "Exposure Window," where potential recruits transition from being "names on a list" to "verified targets." 1. Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF) The most critical tasks for you during this period are: obtaining verified athletic metrics, performing in front of college coaches at camps, and ensuring academic eligibility via the NCAA Eligibility Center. If you do not have a verified 40-yard dash, height, and weight by August, you are significantly behind the recruiting curve. 2. Spring Priorities: The Foundation… In the spring semester and through the summer, your focus must be on finishing the academic year strong and preparing the "digital resume" before the summer camp circuit begins. College coaches often visit high schools throughout the spring (the Evaluation Period). Many have already visited Navarre HS. Highlight Film Finalize the "Junior Season" or "Spring Ball" highlight tape. Keep it under 3-5 minutes, putting the best 5 plays first. X (Twitter) Presence: X is the primary communication tool for football recruiting. Ensure your profile is public, the bio includes height/weight/GPA/HUDL link, and the Direct Messages (DMs) are open. NCAA Eligibility: Register for a "Certification Account" at the NCAA Eligibility Center. This is mandatory for D1 and D2 recruitment. 3. Summer Exposure: The Camp Circuit June and July are for "live evaluations." This is where scholarships are earned. Mega Camps: Large events (e.g., Mercer, SMU, or Wayne State) where coaches from 50+ colleges attend. These are best for players looking for broad exposure across D1-FCS, D2, and D3 levels. Individual School Camps: Best for players who have a specific "top choice" school. It allows for one-on-one time with that specific coaching staff. Specialized Combines: Focus on verified numbers (40-yard dash, pro-agility, vertical). These metrics are the "gatekeepers" for FBS/FCS offers. 4. Tactical Camp Strategy Not all camps are created equal. Use the following to prioritize your summer travel. Camp Type/Best For.../Key Goal Prospect Camp (On-Campus) High-interest targets. Getting an "offer on the spot" from that specific staff. Mega Camp = Wide-net recruiting. Getting "discovered" by a school you weren't previously talking to. Position-Specific Camp = Technical development. Improving "film" and getting technique coaching from college-level mentors. 5. The "10/7" Academic Rule For Division I eligibility, the NCAA requires the "10/7 Rule": 10 core courses must be completed before the start of the 7th semester (Senior year), and 7 of those must be in English, Math, or Science. Summer School: If you are behind on core credits, you must use the summer before senior year to make them up. Once senior year starts, these grades are very often "locked in" for eligibility purposes. 6. Social Media & Character Audit College programs now use "background check" software to scan your social media history. As a reminder, Only you should be managing and communicating from your account! Action: Delete any questionable posts, reposts, or likes. Coaches look for "Red Flags" (negative attitude, poor sportsmanship, or controversial content) that might indicate a player is a risk to the team's culture. Keep getting after it. Never settle. Respectfully, Coach Benji

Traveling too Atlanta today, and getting my final preparations done too be the best i can tomorrow! #Bettereveryday @BLester1993 @CoachJohnFisher @IrishBill63 @CoachBenji @CoachGBagley @Coach_AHoughton @NHSRaidersFB @KohlsKicking

Stop posting fake offers if the school didn’t offer you. This is starting to get out of hand. I will be clear and direct if we are going to offer you. A conversation is not an offer. If you are confused just ask. Let’s be on the same page. #recruiting #DETF #LU1protecttheden
