Short first-person account by a college football recruit describing how he received his first college offer. The speaker emphasizes the central role of social media platform 'X' for exposure, building relationships with coaches (via DM and camps), and that recruitment requires time, relationships, talent, and exposure.

This is how I got my first offer. My first piece was learning about X and how much of a part of the process it plays into recruiting, because 90% of college football recruiting happens on X. And so once I got on there, I started posting more. I started DMing college coaches, and I actually got my first response from a dm. And that's when I realized, okay, this might actually work. And so I ended up meeting a Division 3 coach on there. We ended up building a great relationship, and then through that relationship, I ended up also talking to him at a camp. And further, this relationship even further improved my skills in front of them in person. Then finally, later that summer, I ended up getting the first offer from this school. And so throughout that time frame, it took about a couple months for that to happen. So with the recruiting process, you have to realize that things take time and that the ultimate recruiting process hack is to have good relationships, good talent, and ultimately good exposure. When you have those three pieces, things become a lot easier. And so that's how I got my first offer. And you can too.
