As high school athletes your likelihood of getting college football
scholarships is determined as much by being in the right place at the
right time as it is by your playing skills. College recruiters at the
various universities have hundreds of prospects which each take hours
of analysis and research just to find out who is eligible. With Excell
Sports, your profile is sent out to all the JR, NCAA, and CIS teams in
North America and is available to all recruiting coordinators who have
registered. They have access to your profile and football game film
through our online football prospects data base. It is extremely
important to have your highlight film available. This process cuts the
time by 75% for the recruiters. Players entering the freshman years in
high school can now have college scouts /recruiters look at them and
watch as their athletic careers progress. This allows the colleges or
JR programs to see the growth potential you might have. The ability to
have your game film seen right beside your picture allows the scouts to
see if you have the potential, not just look football combine stats
that only tell half the story.
There are over 700 college programs in the Unites States alone. That is
too many for you try to contact. In addition, your focus is usually on
one or two schools, and if you are not offered football scholarships by
these programs, you feel you're playing days are over. This is not the
case at all. There is always an opportunity - it is just finding the
right opportunity. Football recruiters from a school you might not have
known existed could be interested in you, but if they have never seen
you or heard about you, how will they know you even want to continue
playing. We can help! We are in constant contact with college coaches
from throughout Canada and the U.S. We help you find the right place
for you to receive your education and continue playing the game you
love. The recruiting process can be one that is confusing and
frustrating. We can answer questions and have your best interests at
heart as we are not affiliated with any college; we just want what is
best for our clients.
As an NCAA, CIS, JR or NAFL player your profile is also sent out to all
professional and semi pro teams. It is very important to stay on the
radar screen for these teams, especially if you are among the football
free agents. If you are not on a list you will NEVER get called.
Football pro style personnel and scouts are always scouring lists for
the next guy. Injuries happen, guys are not performing, and players
need to be called up ASAP. How do they find you? They now have a short
list or staged list of guys that they feel can contribute immediately
or down the road. In the NFL approximately 34% of this year's rosters
were filled by undrafted free agents. In the CFL every import roster
position is filled by a free agent. Did you know, that in the 2007 CFL
non import positions were filled by 54 football free agents/undrafted
players. You need to be on a list!
