Congrats to @CoreyKiner and his first NFL tuddie! Great player and better person! No one deserves it more!
Hail Spartan!
I guess they're not calling holding in the @GoBearcatsFB game! Houston's left tackle has held on 3 plays this drive and it has been obvious.
I hope St. X wins a state championship and my guy Jeff Woltz gets the ring he has always wanted. RIP Woltzie! Keep watching over them. #70 #CapCrusader
Let's go @dave71368739!

A recruit's body language after a bad play tells a coach more than his body language after a good one
Anybody can celebrate a touchdown. Coaches want to see what happens after an interception, a fumble, a missed block.
Does he slam his helmet? Does he blame a teammate? Does he check out for the next two plays?
Or does he get back in the huddle, clap his hands, and compete on the next snap?
That moment is worth more to a coaching staff than a stat line

I am super blessed to be named 1st Team All-Conference in the MVC. I give thanks to The Most High, and my family for making this all achievable. Congratulations to my teammates as well for earning MVC All-Conference awards.

If you live in Ohio and want to play college football, these are the hotspots.
Get to their summer camps, get to gamedays, email or DM the coaches your video and build relationships.
You don't need to pay a recruiting service to help you find what's in your backyard.

There's a few kids every year who have such a tsunami of talent they could not help but be found by division one coaches. If you're reading this, that's probably not you.
The better strategy would be to approach your recruitment like a video game with different levels starting with smaller local within five hour drive division three schools.
If you're definitely a division two talent, you should have no problem getting division three interest. If you're definitely a division one talent, you should have no problem getting division two interest. If you're definitely an FBS talent, you should have no trouble getting FCS interest and so on and so forth.
At the smaller colleges, the coaching staffs are much closer to their inboxes and will reply much more readily.
Give it a try, see if it doesn't help you get some traction.
Everyone wants Jonathan Taylor, meanwhile I just want a decent lineback who can tackle and DB's that can cover.

Football is ultimately a game of talent. Scheme matters. Play calling matters. Great coaching and creative play designs can give you an edge. But when the lights come on, it still comes down to players making plays. The team with the better players usually wins. Talent matters. Period.

"The standard creates the culture." @ChristianYelich
When coaches enforce it, it's a rule.
When players own it, it's a standard.
When everyone lives it, it's a culture.
Culture isn't built by what you preach.
It's built by what you practice.
I love everything about this!!
Jerrod Calhoun said that when UC called him about the job, he immediately called every other AD who was interviewing him and told them, "Thanks, but no thanks."
