For College Coaches & Media

Context for the Positions That Decide Games

Specialists often operate outside the spotlight, yet their impact can decide everything. At Off the Uprights, we exist to provide context for the kickers, punters, and long snappers whose preparation, precision, and mental resilience shape outcomes long before the final whistle.

This platform is built for college coaches, recruiting staffs, and media members who want more than rankings and stat lines.

What Off the Uprights Is

Off the Uprights is a specialist-focused storytelling and analysis platform that captures:

  • Who these athletes are

  • How they arrived here

  • How they train

  • How they respond when the moment turns loud

We don’t replace evaluation.
We add clarity.

What We Value

We prioritize athletes who:

  • Embrace accountability

  • Respect the development process

  • Understand patience and growth

  • Are willing to earn trust before expecting opportunity

  • Carry themselves like specialists at the next level

Mental resilience matters as much as leg strength, often more.

How Coaches Use This Platform

Many programs use Off the Uprights as:

  • A supplemental evaluation resource

  • A way to understand mindset and maturity

  • A deeper look beyond camp environments

  • A filter for identifying specialists ready for the process, not just the offer

This platform doesn’t tell you who to recruit. It helps you understand who you’re recruiting.

For Media Members

Specialist evaluation is often reduced to rankings or brief mentions. Off the Uprights provides long-form context, insight, and narrative depth for those looking to better understand the position group and the players who play it.

Stories here are rooted in preparation, pressure, and identity — not hype.

Our Commitment

We are committed to:

  • Accuracy

  • Context

  • Respect for the evaluation process

Every athlete featured has earned their place through preparation, consistency, and verified work.

Final Word

Specialists don’t need hype.
They need understanding.

Off the Uprights exists to provide that. So, when the moment comes you know exactly who you’re trusting.
