How To Get Recruited Using Twitter

One of the hardest parts about going through the College Football recruiting process is figuring out how to get noticed. In this video, I’ll show you why Twitter can be a helpful guide through the process if you’re willing to put the work in!! From setting up your account to knowing what to tweet and most of all how to approach a college coach. I will show you the best approaches to navigate this grey area in recruiting.

Hi, my name is Worth Gregory and I am a former Division 1 Football coach with multiple years in the coaching world. I played football at Alabama out of high school where I was lucky enough to win a National Championship. Then I transferred to ECU where I was a 3yr starter, all-conference, captain, and most of all graduated with a college degree.
I’ve been through the recruiting world, played at a high level, got a shot at the NFL, and had the chance to coach the game I love in front of 100,000+. Now I’m looking to spread my knowledge to the next athlete/family to help them understand the process and get the opportunities that I had.

This might seem random but Jesus loves you and times aren’t good and we need to rely on Jesus to guide us because we see corruption everywhere and so much sin and corruption everywhere. Relationship over religion. Jesus is a prayer away and just because you haven’t had an experience with Him doesn’t mean He’s not real :) .

Or should we at this point just post the number of offers unless it's the type of offer level he would like to be. Not taking anything at all away from D3 as I do know there are some really good athletes at those levels as well.

[@WorthGregory]

Thank You!

[@xpertgam3r482]

One On One Kicking do they have to follow u on Twitter before u can message them ?

[@jamesshepherd4456]

Great advice. #4 is the hard one...can't DM a coach who isn't following. The other issue is it seems that alot of ST coaches use Kohls, Sailor, ... instead of doing their own homework. Attending a bunch of camps is financially out of reach for lots of families. So beyond social media, how does a kicker go about getting noticed on a budget? Thanks.

[@WorthGregory]

James Shepherd I agree, it can be difficult to get them to follow you back but if you’re following 1,000+ coaches then your odds of getting 40-100 following you back is pretty high. College coaches do LOOK at kohls/Sailer but will never offer a kid solely off ranking. At FBS level they wanna see the kid live. You can get recruited and seen with ZERO $$ spent. Create a video of you kicking once a week on a practice field and post it to your Twitter. Follow every coach in the world and spend 2-3 hours A DAY on messaging and doing research.

[@willknudsen3957]

[@dominant_male5605]

I enjoyed your video. My daughter is high soccer play I've been putting out videos and following colleges on Twitter I just can't get any follows back. She's a sophomore

[@notfrinzx2744]

Great video. A lot of useful tips for twitter. One question I have particularly when it comes to posting film on twitter is quality. I’m a long snapper and really think I could have a chance as long as I keep working with it. I’m a freshman right now and I’ve started getting some clips to post but the quality is horrible and almost really hard to see the snaps. So how can I improve that and how much does that impact first impressions? Also I’m hopefully going to be attending Kohl’s special team camp in the near future is that a good idea? And for film how do they know to be looking at the snap? Because for someone just seeing the clips they may think there just clips of the punter / kicker? And not the long snap itself. I hope that makes sense and the questions are clear. Thank you again for the awesome video. Can’t wait to grind this out till the end.

[@WorthGregory]

If you're only a freshman, just focus on your form and videoing to improve that. Don't worry about recruiting or posting on twitter until after your freshman season or beginning of sophomore year. But when you do cut out everything and just have the snap. And yes the Kohls/Rubio camps will help but you're young. Having good academics and form should be your main focus.

[@notfrinzx2744]

Worth Gregory i know I’m late but thank you

I got question that’s been in my head and I want to get it understood, how do you get more stars and do they really matter if you want to get recruited and how do you get stars because the way you explained in this vid was really good and I get it now but I still don’t know what stars really help you with I know if you have 5 your name is out there but I just want to know how they got their stars and what you need to do

[@WorthGregory]

Emiliano Nunez Stars are pretty irrelevant, focus on game tape. Stars can be helpful as a marketing tool but that’s all

Put out content consistently but to be honest, at the QB position you gotta find somewhere to play in games because that’s very important at the QB position

[@willstevens1134]

Could I start sending out more film as a senior to more schools? I want to get my name out there, especially because my school is not having fall sports right now and may not be able to this school year (hopefully spring ball). I’m also a snapper along with offense and defense, and was invited to Kohl’s Scholarship Camp and am ranked, but I’m not sure if it’s to late DM new schools as a senior or if I should wait to enroll and walk on. Like you said in the video, I’m just looking for an opportunity.

Thank u I appreciate it💯

[@SirWafflees]

Worth I have a few questions for you if you don't mind 1. Do coaches prefer email or twitter for communication? 2. What's the pecking order in which you should reach out to coaches? Because you have head coach, offensive coordinator, position coach, grad assistant(off and def) and quality control. Because my thinking was let me message or email someone who may not get a lot of messages and can get the email to the right person even if they can't help. Who should you email 1st, 2nd and so on. 3. If I wanted to recommend someone to a coach what's the best way to do that? Beause If you dm a coach that doesn't follow you, it goes to message requests. I'll dm a coach but usually coaches don't have read receipts on or they just don't get messages so you have no clue if your messages are even being read.

[@bryank.3216]

Sorry I just saw this. 1. Its different for each coach some use Instagram. Some twitter some only email and one only phone. 2. What we did was contact all that applied to us. Position coach. Off/Deff coach and head coach. If you watch their twitter some coaches have assigned recruiters or recruiting areas. Think of it as just flood the zone. Contact everyone at every school you may be interested in. Don't limit yourself we visited schools in 5 states. 3. Don't recommend, have the player do it through their account. I did the research and found the contacts and he did all the communicating. Coaches are more likely to follow back or contact an athlete, it shows them the kid has initiative. Also when you have contact or visits post it and include coaches schools everyones twitter handles. A lot of schools do whats called shadow recruiting where they watch other schools social media and try to steal recruits.

[@Lilyflagg719]
