Two requirements. You must have to get a college football scholarship in the first place. So if you don't have these two things, if you're missing just one of them, then you're not going to be able to get a college football scholarship. So it's essential that you have them. If you don't know who I am, I'm Tren Loire. I'm a former college quarterback at Morningside University, and now I help recruits just like you get college football scholarships. So if you want more content like this, be sure to drop a follow. Now, the first thing is grades. If you don't have good grades, you literally cannot get a college football scholarship. Go check the NCAA eligibility to to be eligible to play at the D1 level, you must have a 2.3 and above. And to play at the D2 level, you must have a 2.2 and above. So if you're below that, then you automatically can't play at those levels. So grades are so essential. Number two is you have to be a good player. Now, this one might seem obvious, but I say this because if you're not a good enough player, then you shouldn't be worrying about recruiting. You should be focused on developing yourself, making sure that you're even a starter on your high school team. That way you can get good film and showcase the college coaches. Because if you don't have anything to show college coaches, they're not going to recruit you. So make sure you have those two pieces grades and play well. And then from there.
