How to Actually Get Offers at Camp
from The Next Play · host Richie Contartesi
What do National Championship programs know about the recruiting process that most families find out too late? In this episode, I’m joined by Northwestern College Head Coach Matt McCarty, who has spent over 21 years building a dynasty in Iowa—to reveal why finding the "right fit" matters more than chasing a Division 1 logo. Coach McCarty breaks down the unique NAIA scholarship math, including the massive "3.6 GPA rule" that gives smart athletes a recruiting edge, and explains why he signed 35 players directly from his summer prospect camps. Whether you’re an overlooked "tweener" or a student-athlete with elite grades, this conversation provides a roadmap for marketing your personal brand and navigating a recruiting timeline that is moving faster than ever.Want Some 1:1 Help With Getting Your Son a College Football Scholarship?
