The Easiest Way To Get A Football Scholarship Guaranteed (Warning)
Introduction
Are you aspiring to earn a college football scholarship but feel lost on where to begin? Good news! You don't need connections or a famous coach in your corner. I’m here to share the easiest way to secure a football scholarship based on my own journey to earning a D1 scholarship at Ole Miss. In this post, I'll break down the five steps you can start executing today to make your dream a reality.
Step 1: Build Your Network
Begin by assembling a list of everyone you know who might be involved in college football. Set aside 45 minutes, free from distractions, to jot down names. This could include former high school teammates, coaches, or community members. Don't limit yourself to players—consider anyone connected to college football. If you're still unsure, take a look through your social media accounts for potential connections.
Step 2: Reach Out Effectively
With your list in hand, it's time to start reaching out. But remember: avoid asking for favors right off the bat. Instead, ask for advice. Personalize your messages to show genuine interest and admiration for their accomplishments. Consider this example: "Hi John, congratulations on your success at Ole Miss. I admire your skills on the field and would appreciate some advice from you."
Step 3: Transition to a Phone Call
Once you've received a positive response, suggest a phone call. This conversation shouldn’t happen over text or DMs as it's likely to end abruptly. A call gives you a chance to have a meaningful discussion, where both parties can explore how to help each other.
Step 4: Utilize Social Media
On the phone, continue asking for advice. Rather than requesting them to directly intervene, seek their suggestions on how to reach the right people. More often than not, they'll offer to help on their own initiative, perhaps by sharing your tape with coaches or passing on your information. Always confirm if it’s okay to follow up later, ensuring you’re not being intrusive.
Step 5: Expand Your Network
Even if you don’t know any college football players personally, expanding your network can bridge that gap. Start by targeting the right schools—50 to 60 potential ones—to channel your efforts effectively. Follow players at your top-choice schools who play your position. Once they reciprocate the follow, implement the same strategy: personalized outreach, advice-seeking, and phone calls.
Conclusion
Remember, connections in football are not just about who you know, but about the efforts you make to expand your network.

Always be proactive and helpful to those you connect with, ensuring that they’ll be inclined to help you in return.
