Attn: CenTex 2018 & 2019 Prospects!!!

If you are a 2018 or 2019 prospect (an upcoming sophomore or an incoming freshman in high school) in the Central Texas area and are fortunate enough to earn a starting spot on the varsity, this would be a very good time to establish yourself as a prospect to watch. It can possibly save you the stress of wondering whether or not you will be recruited as an upperclassman. Here are a few tips to help you get yourselves better noticed as an underclassman on the gridiron.

• Make the "Honor Roll" part of your daily language and character.
• "Point 1" means no grades lower than B's, but preferably more A's than anything else.
• Start studying for your SAT and ACT tests early.
• Take either test at least once at the conclusion of your sophomore year and as often as needed after that.
• REFRAIN FROM ALL FORMS OF FOOLISHNESS BOTH ON AND OFF THE FIELD!
• Be careful with the content of your posts on social media.
• YOU MUST BE DOMINANT AND CONSISTENT AT YOUR RESPECTIVE POSITION ON THE FIELD (a big play machine)!
• Show up BIG, in BIG games!
• Keep your film updated online where they can be viewed publicly (ie. hudl, youtube, etc.). Let your film sell you more than any "t-shirt warrior" events in the Spring and Summer. Your film will prove how much of a true baller you really are, not a t-shirt event!
• Regularly posts your highlight film link on various social media outlets in order to get college coaches' attention.
• Remember you'll mostly be seen as the "rookie" or "scrub" (because you are young) by most upperclassmen, so use that to further fuel your fire to outwork everyone on the field.

Former CenTex great Lache Seastrunk (Temple, '10/pictured below) splashed on the scene his sophomore year by making big play after big play. His speed and elusiveness in space were his biggest assets, which wow'ed a lot of college football coaches and scouts. As a matter of fact, his online film link had over 50,000 hits in the first 6 months after his sophomore campaign ended. As a result of his accomplishments made during his underclassmen years, he was eventually selected to play in the US Army All-American Bowl Game along with being named a USA Today 1st Team All-American.

ALWAYS KNOW THAT IT IS NEVER TOO EARLY TO BECOME A STUD. SO USE YOUR TIME WISELY IN ORDER TO DO SO!

Attn: CenTex 2017 Prospects!

If you are a 2017 prospect (an upcoming junior in high school) in the Central Texas area, there is no better time to act with a sense of urgency to get yourself recruited to attend college as a student-athlete. Traditionally and historically, a prospect's junior year is what sets him apart from other prospects to college football coaches and scouts alike. Here are a few tips to help you get yourselves better noticed both during and following your junior year on the gridiron.

• Shoot for nothing below Honor Roll status in the classroom.
• If you have made any C's or lower in any of your core courses, try and retake them ASAP. You will not be able to do so in your senior year (new NCAA academic rule). Remember the saying, you cannot "C" your way to a Division 1 scholarship.
• Register to take your SAT/ACT tests as many times as you need to.
• REFRAIN FROM ALL FORMS OF FOOLISHNESS BOTH ON AND OFF THE FIELD!
• Be careful with the content of your posts on social media.
• YOU MUST BE DOMINANT AND CONSISTENT AT YOUR RESPECTIVE POSITION ON THE FIELD (a big play machine)!
• It doesn't hurt if your team makes a deep run in the playoffs, if not win a state championship. The longer you play, the more your name is mentioned as a serious prospect.
• Keep your film updated online where they can be viewed publicly (ie. hudl, youtube, etc.). Let your film sell you more than any "t-shirt warrior" events in the Spring and Summer. Your film will prove how much of a true baller you really are, not a t-shirt event!
• Regularly posts your highlight film link on various social media outlets in order to get college coaches' attention.
• SHOW UP BIG, IN BIG GAMES!
• NEVER CEASE TO WORK HARD, ESPECIALLY OUTSIDE OF TEAM ACTIVITIES!

Former CenTex standout Garrett Gilbert (Austin Lake Travis, '09/pictured below) had a sensational junior year for the Lake Travis Cavaliers in which he passed for 4,827 yards and 49 TD's. More importantly, he lead his team to a state championship victory and was known as a prospect that could make all the throws while displaying great leaderships skills and decision making on the field. He was also an honor student. Before signing with the University of Texas, he played in the Under Armour All-American game and was named to both the Parade & USA Today All-American teams, feats that were mostly accomplished based off of his junior year on the field.

REMEMBER, THIS IS YOUR YEAR TO MAKE IT HAPPEN! FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS (TO A TEE ) FIRST AND FOREMOST AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT KIND OF RESULTS TAKE PLACE.

Attn: CenTex 2016 Prospects!!!

If you are a 2016 prospect in Central Texas that has yet to be offered a scholarship, fret not. Here are some things for you to do to meet such a goal no matter if you end up playing Division 1-A (FBS), Division 1-AA (FCS), Division 2, Division 3, NAIA, or JUCO football.

• Stay on top of your academics to ensure that you will qualify academically.
• Make sure that your SAT's and ACT's are taken care of.
• Register with the NCAA and/or NAIA Eligibility Centers.
• REFRAIN FROM ALL ASPECTS OF FOOLISHNESS!
• Keep your film updated online where they can be viewed publicly (ie. hudl, youtube, etc.)
• Regularly posts your highlight film link on various social media outlets in order to get college coaches attention.
• It is good to have a very strong, consistent September in a dominating fashion for your respective position.
• SHOW UP BIG, IN BIG GAMES!

Former CenTex standout Juaquin Iglesias of Killeen '05 (pictured below), was receiving some recruiting attention prior to his senior season but his stock rose astronomically after a strong September, including a game in which he scored 4 "big play" TD's in a thriller against crosstown rival Harker Heights. In addition, he had a very sound academic transcript as well, which influenced more schools to solicit his services. He ended up inking with Oklahoma on National Signing Day.

REMEMBER, YOU STILL HAVE TIME!  YOU JUST HAVE TO WANT IT BAD ENOUGH AND EXECUTE YOUR GOALS IN ORDER FOR BIG THINGS TO HAPPEN FOR YOU IN RECRUITING!

Being A Central Texan is almost Synonymous with Being Overlooked in Recruiting!

Jerrell Freeman of the Indianapolis Colts is a former Central Texan (Waco University) that was overlooked and unranked when he finished high school and is now starting for an NFL franchise after having dominated in Division 3 football at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. Very few of the many prospects rated ahead of him are actually still on an NFL roster. Freeman's story is just further evidence that the 5-star rating system is often overhyped.
