Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 23, 2010

While steadfastly focusing on their 2010 season, thousands of high school football players from around the country have another date circled on their calendars – Feb. 2, 2011. National Signing Day for football.

In record numbers, high school football players and college coaches are adding beRecruited.com to their college football recruiting playbook as a way to navigate the recruiting process. So far in 2010, beRecruited has facilitated nearly one million direct connections between high school football players and college coaches.

“Everybody focuses on the top 100-150 kids, but there are thousands of opportunities every year for an aspiring, quality high school football player to play in college,” said Jeff Cravens, president of beRecruited. “Our job is to facilitate that initial connection, which then allows the coach and athlete to efficiently establish a relationship.”

By creating a profile with beRecruited.com, high school athletes can instantly connect with registered college coaches across America. Athletes update their profiles with recent statistics, videos and photos while researching the programs that offer both their sport and their area of academic interest through the Colleges section. College coaches can view the profiles that fit their programs and connect with the athletes. Coaches are alerted via e-mail when an athlete fits their parameters.
