Every so often, the right people, companies, and resources come together at the right moment to create something bigger than any one of them could have built alone. This is one of those moments.
The National Clearinghouse of College Recruiting brings close to a century of experience together across national scouting, recruiting data, game film, elite football events, verified testing, player evaluation, media, technology, and college recruiting relationships into one powerful recruiting organization.
Not assembled from promises. Built from proven power.
The organizations and properties coming together within NCCR have already spent decades shaping different parts of the football recruiting world. Their collective history reaches across all 50 states, thousands of college coaches, tens of thousands of evaluated prospects, thousands of teams, major national showcases and combines, international football markets, and generations of athletes who have gone on to play at the highest levels of the game.
Now, all of that knowledge, infrastructure, access, technology, reach, and experience is being connected under one banner, with one mission:
Better Data. Better Evaluation. Better Fit.
Spots are limited by grade and position.
