Short YouTube clip by Trenton Luera, a former college quarterback who helps recruits obtain college football scholarships. He advises recruits not to wait to be discovered as a "diamond in the rough"; instead, they should proactively make themselves known to coaches and make it easy for coaches to recruit them.

Everyone likes to think that they're a diamond and rough instead of being a diamond rough. Just do this instead, and recruiting will become way easier. First, if you don't know who I am, I'm Trenton Loire. I'm a former college quarterback, and now I help recruits just like you get college football scholarships. Now, everyone likes the idea of being a diamond rough just randomly. A coach finds you, you go D1, you become an NFL hall of Famer, and everybody talks about you forever. But here's the thing. If you're relying on being this diamond in a rough, in a small little school, is that cool? Yes. Is a coach happy to find you? Yes. But I think it's way, way easier. And any coaches can come and correct me, but if the recruit just shows up on your doorstep, that makes it a lot easier for both of you guys. So instead of relying on luck or for a coach to find you, instead of make yourself known, put yourself out to coaches and make it really easy for them to recruit you. Because if you are this diamond in the rough, if you are somebody that has the talent level and the ability to play at the next level, then if you put yourself amongst these coaches, they'll jump at you at the first opportunity that they get. So don't wait to be found. Instead, make yourself known. If you like this.
