Ep. 7 - The Game-changer in High School Football: Reclassification and the New Wave of Recruitment

October 30, 2023 • Jamael Stewart

Ever wondered why reclassification in high school football has become a pressing topic and a strategic move for student-athletes? Are you curious about how the sporting dynamics have changed considerably, with a shift from fresh recruits to more developed players? Well, we've got some fascinating insights in store for you in this episode.

We take a deep dive into the importance of reclassification in football recruiting. We explore why it's not common to red-shirt players anymore, and how reclassification can arm young athletes with a competitive edge in the recruitment world. We also investigate the pros and cons of reclassification at different stages, and how it can be utilized to maximize football recruiting opportunities. On a slightly different note, we also discuss the role of the transfer portal in shaping the future of college football.

But that's not all. We have two shining stars joining us in this episode - Devin Connelly, the talented senior from Park Vista High School, and Mark Hanniford, the eighth-grade football phenomenon. While Devin, the cornerback and wide receiver, is making waves with his heart and determination, Mark's GPA and unwavering work ethic easily set him up as a top pick for any college coach. So, gear up for a riveting conversation about football, recruitment, and the remarkable dedication of our young athletes. Tune in, listen, and let's talk football!
