Short YouTube-video style advice from former college quarterback Trenton Luera outlining three primary priorities for high-school athletes seeking college football recruitment: (1) develop football skills, (2) build strength and proper nutrition, and (3) maintain good grades. The speaker frames these as foundational, long-term habits rather than one-time actions.

If I was in high school trying to get recruited, these are the three things I'd focus on before anything else. If you don't know who I am, I'm Trenthew. I'm a former college quarterback. So be sure to follow if you want more content like this. So the first thing I do is just focus on developing as a player. If you're not a good player, then it's hard to get recruited to play college football because there's a ton of good players out there. And so just make sure you're developing as a player, like skills and everything, and this will continue on. It's not like you're going to get to your junior year and you're going to stop developing as a player. This is a skill that you need to develop. The skill to develop, you need to develop, if that makes sense. Number two is you need to work on gaining strength, having good nutrition, stuff like that. Those are critical to becoming a better player. Like the first step, as well as you need size and strength to help you get recruited. So learning how to eat properly, learning how to lift properly. Not necessarily saying you have to put up insane numbers, but it will help you later on the line if you learn how to do those things beforehand. And number three is get good grade. Now, this is super cliche, but I've seen too many kids that DM me and they say I slacked off my freshman and sophomore.
