Padded Prospect Camps vs. Showcases
I have a question regarding the format of that exposure. Up to this point in the spring, a lot of the events have been unpadded showcases. They heavily prioritize raw athletic testing, verified metrics, and t-shirt-and-shorts 1-on-1s where speed and get-off have a massive advantage because there's no real heavy contact. Now that June is here, college coaches are heavily pushing these on-campus, padded prospect camps. For the linemen in this group, what are the biggest differences in how college coaching staffs evaluate an interior player once the shoulder pads and helmets actually come on? When you are dealing with full-contact what adjustments do we need to make to our preparation and mindset so we can dominate a padded college camp and leave with an offer?

Pads tell the truth. In shorts, coaches see athletes. In pads, they see football players. For linemen, it becomes about leverage, hands, toughness, finish, and who can move another man against his will. In most cases, a good showcase gets attention. A dominant padded camp gets offers. @Wesley West is the OL expert

Recruiting Question
How do you balance top-tier D2 powerhouses that are treating you like a priority number-one target right now against FBS programs that are playing the waiting game? Is it smarter to pull the trigger and run with the staff that is all-in on you from day one, or do you hold out into the summer to see how the D1 boards shake out after camp season?

That’s tough. I’d lean toward patience, but with a plan. A top D2 that has made you their priority from Day 1 deserves serious consideration. Don’t get so caught up chasing a logo that you overlook a staff that genuinely believes in you. That said, if the FBS interest is real and you’re getting consistent communication, camp invites, and signs you’re on the board, there’s nothing wrong with letting the summer play out before making a final decision. The key question isn’t D2 vs. FBS. It’s: Who is willing to invest in you, develop you, and give you the best opportunity to get on the field? Recruiting changes fast. Just make sure you’re choosing a school, not chasing a level.

Development Comes Before Exposure
Every player wants exposure. And I totally get it But here’s the thing: exposure only helps if you’re ready for what people are going to see. If a coach clicks your film, watches you at camp, or sees you compete live, they’re not just looking for potential. They’re looking for evidence. Can you move? Can you compete? Can you take coaching? Can you play with technique? Can you show habits that translate? Most importantly can you show physical traits that will translate quickly? Remember you’re competing with 21 year old portal players. So before you chase more eyes, I challenge you to ask yourself: Am I becoming a better player every week, or am I just trying to be seen?

A lot of athletes think exposure creates opportunities. In reality, development creates opportunities and exposure simply reveals them. The fastest way to get recruited is to become so good that coaches can't ignore what they see when they turn on the film or watch you in person. Exposure without development usually leads to disappointment. Development without exposure eventually gets found.

What’s up Wisdom, you’re already carrying impressive size for a freshman. With that being said coaches have to project what size you will be as a senior, it’s a good chance you are still growing. My advice: don’t get caught up in being evaluated right now. Focus on dominating your freshman season, developing your body, and becoming a complete football player. At 6’0”+ and 240 lbs, colleges will want to see how well you move, your athleticism, and your production on the field. Keep working, keep developing, and make sure your grades match your football goals. The best thing you can do right now is give recruiters a reason to come find you later.

Camp Recap
Yesterday I was at the Under Armour Next Camp in Baltimore evaluating some of the top talent in the region. Today, I’ll be sharing a recap along with key takeaways, standout performers, recruiting observations, and lessons every athlete can learn from the camp. Be on the lookout. There’s a lot to unpack.

A camp doesn’t create your recruiting profile. It reveals it. If you’re out of shape, it shows.If your technique is poor, it shows.If you’ve been putting in the work, it shows. Most camp performances are won or lost weeks before the athlete ever checks in.

One thing I noticed at the Under Armour Next Camp: College-level traits show up early. Not offers.Not stars.Not rankings. Traits. Size. Length. Movement skills. Competitiveness. Coachability. Those are the things that make recruiters stop and watch.
