High School Football Magazine

Why This Magazine Matters

Why We Are Bringing It Back

You might be a football prospect, parent of a prospect, a high school coach, or a fan who feels like the new college football landscape has created more obstacles for high school football players to get recruited.

In fact, you are absolutely correct. According to all studies, fewer than 2% of high school football prospects in each recruiting class will have the opportunity to sign on Signing Day each year. High School scholarship opportunities are down from 6% before the inception of the college transfer portal and NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness). Due to the business side of college football, competition for scholarships is fierce.

With this in mind, we are excited to present the premiere issue of the Recruit the Nation Preseason High School Football Magazine, a scouting report for the Midwest Region.

We cannot let the chaotic college football landscape overshadow all the great performances at the high school level. Instead of complaining about the new challenges high school athletes face, we need to focus on new strategies and resources to make it easier for college coaches to recruit the region.
