I actually don't think he ever sent me the tape, if he did I completely missed it.
but if you want to still send me the tape, I can still pass it along.

It’s an ok video he put together, plus I can’t DM you because I don’t have a premium account and you don’t follow me. Follow me on X @jasonb20 and I’ll send it to you.

Souther Miss o-line coach just reached out to my son on Twitter and invited him to their camp.
Also is the Auburn camp worth taking him to? It’s coming up fast on 6/1 and 6/8.

If you want to be intimate with the details of how the coaching staff operates that fans dont get to experience then yes.
I learned a lot about Hudspeth and his assistant coaches when I did an OL camp around 2005. Hudspeth taught me how to be a man!

I have the NCSA people bothering me and I’m not sure if they will help me a lot.
My son is graduating high school this year. He is an All-State DT, and NCSA was all over us in essence promising a D1 scolly for the low low cost of a couple grand. I blew them off, concentrated on twitter to get my boys name out. Once a coach took notice, others did too.
Keep in mind, most of the camps are a money game. If colleges are interested they will have him attend and it will be free.

NCSA gives you the access to all the coaches and assistant coaches emails. It will be up to your son to write them and get his name out. You all have waited a little too long as it is, but not too late. I say this because we waited a little too long is all after talking to coaches. Football has more schollies and she played MB which most teams only carry 3-5 with team size of 16-18 spots.
The only other thing you can do is research the web for emails but in a time crunch NCSA is a good option. My daughter got her scholarship for volleyball using it but she had to do the work.
They also provide some tutorials on how to put out a good email. Their video making option is weak and my daughter put a much better one together.
He should have been going to camps of schools he is interested in playing for, if you haven’t been doing that. Try and get him in some this summer and not wait till next summer. If you have access to a performance training option they cannot only help with performance and technique but many have connections to recruiters.
Don’t wait till next summer he needs exposure asap. Good luck.

Good info but two things here, your son was all-state and you put in work on social media. You won’t be invited if you aren’t known, but once your name starts getting thrown around you can pick up steam quick.
You do not need NCSA if you can find contact info other ways. You can also go to the university site and fill out recruitment info sheets if I remember right. We used NCSA because of the organized way she was able to send out emails and the info it gave her about the programs and all the assistants info. She got offers due to getting the assistants attention.
We started late in the recruiting process and felt it was a good option and it turned out to be in our case. 2000.00 turned into nice offers and paid for her degree and some housing and food. Not quite full ride but other academic scholarships covered the gap.
I have 5 nephews that all played D1 football and have a few friends whose sons and daughters went through recruitment. Some had it easy due to their ability and some had to take different paths.
Biggest common denominator, exposure.
I am not trying to sound like the all knowing expert either because I’m far from it. We made mistakes in my daughter’s recruiting experience and just sharing info of our experience and others I am familiar with.
