Specialist Recruiting Guidance
The recruiting journey for kickers, punters, and long snappers is different from every other position in football.
Off The Uprights offers one-on-one consulting sessions to help athletes and families understand how the specialist recruiting process actually works.
The Problem
-
Why Specialist Recruiting Feels Confusing
Families entering the specialist recruiting process often encounter a lot of noise.
Camps, rankings, opinions, and recruiting advice can come from many different directions, and it can be difficult to understand what actually matters.
The specialist journey is different from most positions in football. Development timelines, evaluation metrics, and recruiting opportunities often follow a completely different path.
These sessions are designed to bring clarity to that process so athletes and families can focus on development instead of chasing the wrong signals.
