Rivals Recruits “On the Radar” is built primarily for the millions of athletes who go unnoticed in the recruiting process and are generally confused about how it works. For three decades, our business has scouted elite/blue-chip athletes. Now, we can build a platform and community for the masses. We have been building Rivals Recruits behind the scenes for 2+ years and officially rolled it out in November of last year. It is a product and service we are incredibly excited about, and it serves a market that desperately needs information and transparency. Since everyone else is telling one piece of the story, let me share more details. Rivals Recruits is building a public-facing database and platform, “On the Radar,” to report on the recruits that our industry has never listed or ranked. We didn't have a platform to database up-and-coming athletes or those who aren’t on the P4’s radar. This is a fundamental addition to the Rivals business, and we believe parents, athletes, and coaches need it. We intend to disrupt the entire space by making it available and transparent. Rivals Recruits has three layers, not just the one making the headlines. 1) Rivals On the Radar Grade (free). Rivals now issues scouting grades on non-star on-the-radar recruits. Historically, we didn't have a platform to grade these players. Instead of hiding away in a scout’s notebook and never being mentioned, these players will receive a non-star On the Radar grade and be listed in the database. This is a significant revelation for the recruiting and scouting space. In fact, most ranked kids in the On the Radar DB will come from this category. This is 100% free to everyone. 2) Claim your profile. We are building a database for all athletes in the U.S. With their parents' consent, athletes can “claim their profile” and manage their message, highlights, stats, accolades, etc. This service costs $29.99 and renews at $59.99. It also includes a free On3 | Rivals National subscription. It is a robust product with numerous features being added each week to help athletes and parents through the recruiting process. 3) Player Evaluation. Athletes, through parental consent, have the opportunity to purchase a detailed scouting evaluation. The evaluation is to help guide the athlete/parent in the recruiting process, see how they stack up against the blue-chips, and includes strengths and areas of improvement. Once the athlete receives the report, they can elect to keep it private and out of public view. This service costs $399 and requires significant time from our scouts to produce. We have been 100% transparent and extremely proud of the work being done behind the scenes to produce these evaluations. Payment guarantees the evaluation. It does not guarantee stars, a ranking, a rating increase, or recruiting interest. For thirty years, our teams have worked overtime to build great products and services. We are incredibly motivated to build Rivals Recruits and give athletes, parents, and coaches a platform to share their story, control their message, and learn about the recruiting process. Nothing changes for the roughly 6,000 star-rated prospects Rivals already scouts and ranks every year. We will continue to identify, evaluate, and rank those players exactly as we always have, for free. Rivals Recruits simply expands our coverage beyond that group.

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.

Just the beginning…lots of work to be done and a lot to prove! Thanks @on3 @Rivals to be added to the “On The Radar” for C/O 2027 in the 🇺🇸 and #50 overall in SC! @CharlesPower #WinToday @dwdanielFB @CoachChrisStone @PRecruiting7 @sixstarfootball @fourquarterSC @One11Recruiting @247Sports @247recruiting @PrepRedzoneSC

We'll never have enough scouts to watch 1M high school football players a year. Rivals Recruits gives anyone a real shot at being seen. Ex: 2029 QB Colton Dabkowski bought an evaluation. Rivals scout @CodyBellaire spent hours on his film and talking with his coaches, then shared the eval with college staffs. A few days later Tulane offered. Est. Tulane scholarship: ~$390K over 4 years Rivals evaluation: $499 We want every recruiting staff, from FBS to D-III, to find more talent, and every athlete who's earned it to get found. No one should go unseen. on3.com/recruits/mission-sta… @AaronLemingNFL @Matt_Stepp817 @CJFWrites @IshmaelRJohnson @byBDavis @MikeLeslieWFAA @BigBlueDylan

1.04M kids played HS football last season. About 6,600 held a Rivals star rating… roughly 0.6%. That's not a talent gap. It's a capacity gap. Our scouts have always focused on FBS prospects, and FCS, D-II, NAIA and D-III kids rarely get their film watched. Rivals Recruits puts the same scouts, held to the same standards, on more of that film. You can pay for an evaluation. You can't pay for the result. Great resource and link for all college coaches and scouts. More opportunities for athletes. on3.com/rivals/rankings/rada…
