Nationally have a natural advantage in recruiting, while players who have competed in smaller schools – such as the 1A and 2A grades of most states – will have their skills and achievements judged against the lower caliber opposition they have faced, and as such are rarely considered as great prospects. Occasionally, however, a student at a minor school will receive a full scholarship – for example, Dallas Cowboys forward Leonard Davis received a scholarship to the University of Texas despite playing football in Wortham, Texas, a class 1A school. Players are evaluated based on the 40-yard dash, the agility shuttlecock, the vertical jump, and the number of bench press reps they can perform at a given weight. Recently, the SPARQ rating has become a popular composite metric for assessing overall athleticism. Based on performance throughout their careers and at camps, colleges typically take potential recruits on tours of campus and athletic facilities, or the college may have their team coach visit the recruit at home or school. While all colleges do much of their recruitment at local and state high schools, where they can interact with HS coaches and booster clubs, the nation’s top college programs can easily recruit athletes from across the country. Some colleges have historically been aided in this regard through their prominence within their religious affiliation, such as Notre Dame or BYU.
