The main reason why you're not being recruited right now isn't because you suck. It's because you're just underseen by college coaches, meaning not enough coaches know who you are. Because if coaches don't know who you are, then how are they supposed to recruit you or offer you scholarship or invite you on a visit? How are they supposed to do any of those things in the first place? So what you need to do is make yourself known. Essentially by making yourself known, you're just putting yourself in front of college coaches, putting your film in front of them, putting all your information in front of them. And you can do this in a lot of different ways. Especially nowadays, it's actually easier than ever. The two best ways as a college football recruit is Twitter, DMS and emails. These are both direct ways to get in front of a college coach. And on top of that, you can go to camps, you can post on Twitter, you can fill out questionnaires. All those are great ways to get in front of a college coach and start getting recruited. Now, the key here is you have the knowledge, you know exactly what to do. You're going to go out there, you're going to send Twitter DMs, you're going to go to camps, you're going to send emails. But are you actually going to do it? Because the thing is, it's a number game. At the end of the day, there's 800 plus college football programs.
