You are who you’re recruited by

A lot of parents and athletes are.

Going to get mad about this, but you are who you're recruited by.

What I mean by that is everyone.

Says that they're Division 1, but they're not getting recruited.

By Division 1 schools. It doesn't matter what your mom thinks, your trainer, your high school coach, or.

I think the only thing that matters.

Is what the college coaches that can offer you the scholarships think.

In today's.

Recruiting world, everyone gets so.

Disillusioned.

By what people say. One person who coached or played at the Division 1 level.

One time looks at them and says, oh.

You'Re a Division 1 guy.

And they latch onto.

That forever.

But again, the reality is you can get told by everybody that you are.

A Division 1 guy.

You'Re a D2 guy. But then if the coaches at that.

Level don't.

Think the same thing, then it doesn't matter. Now, this doesn't.

Mean that if you're.

Not getting recruited by a certain level of football that you can't play there every year.

There are plenty of.

Guys that are.

Able to play the Division 1 level that don't get the.

Opportunity to.

And the reason that these people don't.

Play Division 1.

Or don't play college football is for a lot of different reasons.
