All things recruiting for high school and JUCO athletes — built from my journey from JV as a junior to JUCO to earning a D1 scholarship.

Inside: the D1Expectation mindset, what GPA you really need, how to fix grades if you fell behind, film and camp strategy, how to talk to coaches, money/NIL realities, parents' role, and how to handle life after the last snap.

What is D1Expectation

D1Expectation is a recruiting + mindset brand built on one standard: “The Expectation Never Stops.”

Everything we do is rooted in our founder’s journey — chasing big goals when the odds were stacked against him. From JV as a junior and one year of varsity film, to a freshman walk‑on opportunity at LSU, to the JUCO grind at Blinn, to earning an FBS scholarship and becoming a two‑year starter at Ohio University, that path shaped the mindset behind the movement: resilience, belief, and daily execution.

Today, we help athletes (and parents) move with confidence through the recruiting process — film, outreach, next steps, and NIL/money discipline — so it’s not guesswork anymore. We also bring real-life perspective and money management shaped by our founder’s former experience as a financial advisor (formerly Series 7 & 66 licensed), because the goal isn’t just a roster spot… it’s building something that lasts.

D1Expectation is growing into a community — through content, gear, school/team sessions, and partnerships — built to help athletes keep the expectation alive on and off the field.
