A few facts about recruiting....

There are 117 division 1A, 118 division 1AA and 150 division 2 colleges that offer football scholarships.  That's a total of 22,779 football scholarships available in the NCAA alone.  PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that these scholarships must be spread out over the course of 4 to 5 years.  So 22,779 divided by 4.5 is approximately 5,062.  In order for your son to receive a football scholarship, he must be one of the top 5,000 players in the country out of the millions that play high school football!  On a smaller scale, 5 out of 1,000 football players earn a scholarship! 

Student athletes who want to participate in NCAA Division I or II athletics should start the certification process early - by the end of their junior year or early in their senior year in high school. Students may obtain a copy of Making Sure You Are Eligible to Participate in College Sports and a Student Release Form (SRF) free of charge from a high school counselor.

To be certified by the Clearinghouse, students must: 

Graduate from high school

Students should apply for certification before graduation, usually after their junior year. The NCAA Clearinghouse will issues a preliminary certification based on information available before graduation, so that the student is informed about any potential reasons that he or she may not be certified. Final certification will be issued only after receipt of a final transcript that includes proof of graduation.
