Hidden Gem Recruits is ideal for:

High School Student-Athletes

  • Who: Athletes who may not have national rankings but have the talent and drive to compete at the college level. This also includes athletes who love the game but don’t want their entire college experience to revolve around athletics.

  • Why: They need a platform to showcase their skills, stats, and highlights to college coaches who may not find them through traditional recruiting services. Many DIII and NAIA programs offer the perfect balance of competitive athletics and a well-rounded college experience, making HG Recruits a great fit for these athletes.

College Coaches (Primarily DIII & NAIA)

  • Who: Coaches from smaller colleges with limited recruiting budgets who rely on discovering overlooked talent and need quick easy access to players

High School & Club Coaches
