I got hired 5 years ago by On3/Rivals to be a national scout and rank players. I worked in scouting at LSU, Baylor, Texas A&M and was the Director of Scouting at Texas Tech. So my background as an evaluator is nearly 12 years total with experience at the highest levels of CFB. I get these prospects in my inbox. I give a film review (about a paragraph or two), scoring on 10 traits with explanations for each score, and then about ~500 words in a scouting summary that explain what I saw from an athletic, technical and projection perspective. Then a list of areas to improve, and areas they excel, and a player comparison. And then I call the coach to get an idea of who the kid is, how they work, how are the grades, how’s his support system, and how he feels about the kid and his ability in general. Then we send it off to them. That all comes from me, not AI or anything outside of my brain. I really do take pride in my work with these reports because I want to firstly, be right. I think as evaluators we all want to do our best to be correct in our projections and recommendations. And secondly, genuinely give my advice and opinion on how I feel about the kid as a prospect and how I would go about the recruiting process, especially as someone who has been tasked with evaluating/offering/recruiting prospects for college teams. Will I always be correct? No. Will I have a kid I grade as a D2 prospect end up as a FCS signee? I’m sure that’s very possible. But will I always give my GENUINE opinion based off of all the information I can possibly gather in order to give the kid, his family and his coach the most authentic response I possibly can? 100%. Is the kid I evaluate guaranteed to become a 3-star? No, those are primarily reserved for prospects who we expect to sign at the FBS level (with some exceptions of course, like someone who has the ability to be recruited by G5 schools but maybe ends up signing FCS). But are they given a grade that coincides with the level I projected them to and that grade is able to seen by anyone that goes to the Rivals On the Radar page? Yes. Ultimately, if someone wants to pay for what I have always felt is a consultation from an evaluator, they can do that if the price is reasonable for them. It may not be what they want to hear, and it may not end up getting them a 3-star rating. But it will give them MY honest opinion, recommendation and advice. If you think it’s worth $500 to know what I think your future is as a collegiate prospect? Go for it. If you don’t? I totally get it and understand. Attached are some reports I’ve done, if you want an example of what they are getting in return (coach interview notes go directly to the player, not for public). These are profiles of prospects you can find on the Rivals On the Radar page. on3.com/rivals/rankings/rada…

There’s been a ton of interest in Rivals Recruits, and I wanted to address some topics around the product. This service primarily targets FCS and below athletes. Rivals Recruits is a product we have been building for a couple of years, and we see a huge need for it in the market. For decades, we have focused most of our efforts on elite/blue-chip prospects while underserving the vast majority of high school athletes. This platform and scouting product give athletes and parents more education on the recruiting process and a better understanding of where they fit in the ecosystem. • AI is not involved in the scouting evaluations. • The reports are thorough and take many scouting hours to produce. It is a costly endeavor because of the hours each scout puts into the process. • The same scouts who evaluate the blue chips create the evaluations. This doesn’t change the coverage and scouting of the star-rated and blue-chip players. Rivals has done a great job uncovering these elites for decades. So many players go unnoticed, and Rivals has an enormous platform to tell these stories and address an underserved area of the market. We are giving honest feedback. Athletes/parents can choose to display or not display their scouting evaluation and grade publicly once it is delivered. Our scouts take great pride in the quality of their grades and evaluations. Bookmark “On the Radar” to see a growing list of potential college players, outside of the traditional star-rated recruits we've been covering and scouting for 3 decades. on3.com/rivals/rankings/rada…

Rivals Radar streamlines things for FCS, D2, NAIA and D3 programs to scan the list, read our evaluation and go from there with their own process.
