RECRUITING PROFILES
It’s extremely important for college recruits to be well organized, and that’s why a Measurable Action Plan, MAP, is vital. MAP provides a timeline for you to follow during each step of the recruiting process. The plan includes athletic goals, academic goals, a growing list of colleges that you are interested in, a checklist of coaches that you need to get in contact with, and much more. Having MAP can ensure that you’re being thorough since being thorough is the key to finding the most scholarship opportunities. More opportunities at schools that are a good fit for you leads to earning many scholarships to choose from. A Grid Iron University Recruit Scout, GIURS, can help you put your recruiting action plan in motion after a quick scouting evaluation. Getting an early start makes the recruiting process much more manageable in the long run.
