One recruiting question at a time.

Longer reads for families working through recruiting. Each one takes a question a parent actually asks, answers it plainly, and lists where its facts came from. The help page is the short version of the whole road; these go deeper on one stretch of it.


  • How do I get my son's football highlights seen by college coaches?

    Coaches do not hunt for your son's film. The film has to be delivered to the right coach, in a format they will actually open and watch. A good reel plus consistent outreach gets your athlete evaluated, not offered. This is a process parents can run without hiring anyone, and it starts with understanding how coaches actually consume film.

  • How do you track college recruiting contacts?

    Tracking college recruiting contacts is a record-keeping job, not a talent problem. Most families lose the thread once they are talking to 20 or more programs because each school brings multiple coaches, separate email chains, and different camp deadlines. A simple per-coach log showing who said what and what happens next, plus a way to see who actually opened your film, keeps a family in control of the process.

  • What is the best tool to create highlight reels from game film?

    The best tool depends on your athlete's sport, your budget, and how much editing time you have. AI-powered highlight makers, sports-specific editing apps, and general video editors each solve a different problem. College coaches review film fast, so a clean, easy-to-watch reel matters more than a flashy one.

Why a tuna?

Reel is the film. That part's easy.

Tuna is the rest of it. Pound for pound it is the most valuable fish in the ocean — which is how we think about linemen. The biggest bodies out there, and the ones everything else is built behind. It is why this app measures your athlete against a school's line room rather than against its highlight reel.

And the fishing is the honest part. Recruiting is long quiet days of casting with nothing biting, and then one strike — a camp invite, a coach who writes back, a roster spot, a name-image-likeness deal that pays for the degree. You are not chasing attention. You are fishing for the one that lands.
