 HOW TO GET A FOOTBALL SCHOLARSHIPMany are searching for how to get a football scholarship and the fact of the matter is, you must earn a football scholarship in the world of College Football Today. With only 3% of the over 1 million high school football players a year receiving scholarships to play at the next level, the window of opportunity tends to narrow as you progress through you're high school playing days. This leaves student-athletes one of two choices, simply play the sport they love for fun or become a college football recruit. Not saying that being a college football recruit is not fun, but it must be earned by the 3% of high school athletes who are lucky enough to attain the glory of playing college football on Saturdays. HOW TO GET A D1 FOOTBALL OFFER If you are wondering on how to get a D1 football offer, you need to look at the odds of making it D1 and ask yourself if you are ready for that level of play. If you are like 2019 Troy commit Terry Byers, then you commit to a process and never deter from that path. Many D1 football offers come later in the recruiting process as college football recruiting boards change constantly with players changing their minds and/or ineligible academically. This normally causes a late rush of offers for players who have had their names out to the college football recruiting world, early and often. If you think you have to be on a major media recruiting website to play D1 football, you are sadly mistaken, as many players arrive on campus that never had a star next to their name. There are 130 FBS teams and 125 FCS football teams at the "D1" level that offer college football scholarships. When it comes to looking at the numbers over the last four years, many of our players were put onto networks like 247 sports and Rivals.com, after we were able to help spark their recruitment into the world of collegiate football. D2 FOOTBALL SCHOLARSHIPSD2 football scholarships come as late as August for some recruits and some standout college football recruits can receive full scholarships to the D2 football level. These programs normally will offer half football scholarships, as they are not allotted as many scholarships as D1 football teams, so they spread the scholarship money across the board evenly. With their being 167 D2 football programs in the NCAA, many often overlook the fact that D2 football is very popular in most states and produces some of the best NFL talent in years past.  NAIA FOOTBALL SCHOLARSHIPSNAIA football scholarships are awarded to standout football players, as well as high academic performers. Most NAIA football teams use a sliding scale similar to the NCAA sliding scale for eligibility, to determine financial awards for college tuition. Having followed intuitively all levels of college football this year at CollegeFootballToday.Org, I got to see some outstanding NAIA play out of former Scout Trout Elite athletes, as well as all levels of College Football Today. NCAA FOOTBALL ELIGIBILITYNCAA football eligibility can be started by obtaining you're NCAA clearinghouse pin number and making sure you are taking care of business in the classroom, as well as on the field. Many athletes come to Scout Trout Elite that have not tested yet in the ACT or SAT and our encouraged to take the test as many times as possible to achieve the best scores possible. Making sure you are taking NCAA "Core" courses that count towards your overall core GPA that the NCAA uses is also imperative to making sure you are eligible to play NCAA football. Visit our NCAA eligibility page to learn more about what it takes to be eligible at the NCAA collegiate football levels.
