How do I get recruited for college football?

Build a profile with film, stats, and academics, then email college football coaches directly. NILify scouts NCAA D1, D2, D3, NAIA and JUCO football programs for fit, drafts your outreach, and tracks every open, click, and reply at the message level.

What do college football coaches look for?

Coaches look for your ability on tape, measurables, position-specific skill, academics, and character. Sending a focused, well-written email with film is still the #1 way to get on a coach's radar.

When can college football coaches contact me?

NCAA contact windows vary by sport and division. Use NILify's NCAA contact periods reference to see when football coaches can call, DM, or visit — and to plan your outreach for windows when coaches are most responsive.

How much do college football NIL deals pay?

NIL value depends on division, position, audience, and state rules. NILify includes NIL value estimates by position and an NIL store so football athletes can earn from day one.

Do D2, D3, NAIA, and JUCO football coaches recruit too?

Yes — most college athletes don't play D1. NILify covers every division, so you can find a football program that fits your level, academics, and location.
