Camp invite DOES NOT mean you are getting recruited💯 Make sure you have had previous contact with a coach or a PERSONAL invite before investing in their camp,

For 2026 guys, the most important period in recruiting is between now and the end of July. It is critical that you have the right plan in place. DM me for additional info

Ivy League and Patriot League camps are coming up and coaches are on the road recruiting. But what if you get through the evaluation period and camp season with no offers in July? Then you’re scrambling. Credibility and relationships with college coaches is critical.

For 2026 student athletes aspiring to play in the Ivy League or Patriot League, summer football camps are extremely important. You must have a plan and ensure the coaches are looking for you when you attend.

Stay away from the mega camps. They are money grabbers.

Guys we have helped secure offers during the recruiting process: Daniel Jones (Duke/NFL), Truman Jones (Harvard/NFL), Drew Pyne (Notre Dame).

If you’re a high school football player receiving letters from Ivy League football programs, then you should know what the Ivy League’s Academic Index (A.I.) is, and what band you fall into. Ivy League recruiters typically will not explain this.

The Academic Index is a gauge that Ivy League coaches use to determine a player's recruitability. 2/3 of eligibility is based a student standardized test score (SAT or ACT); the other third is based on your class rank (or GPA, if your school does not provide)

There are 4 Academic Index groups or “bands”. Ivy coaches are only allowed to take a certain amount of athletes in each band.

Schools can take the following number of players in each band ( High means guys having the highest test scores) High band: 8 players Med. band: 13 players Low band: 7 players Low-Low: 2 players

Just because you have an Ivy “offer” doesn’t mean you will automatically be accepted into the school.

Ivy League football and Patriot League football is very competitive and D1. Many starters at these schools had multiple D1 FBS offers and have elite athletic skills

Other D1 FCS football schools to consider that offer great academics: Villanova, William&Mary, Richmond, Davidson, Furman, Wofford, UC Davis. All have strong alumni networks.

Remember that they play big-boy football in D1 FCS. In 2023, Holy Cross lost 31-28 to Boston College and 17-14 to Army.

Army, Navy, Air Force offer a fantastic athletic and academic experience for someone who is disciplined and hard working. A scholarship at these schools is valued at $400,000. Strongly consider the pros and cons if you receive an offer to play at these schools. Life changing.
