How Rivals Recruits helps you get recruited

Rivals Recruits: Built by the Leaders in Recruiting

For over 30 years, Rivals has led the recruiting industry.

Back in 1996, this team, who also founded On3 and 247Sports, created the first digital recruiting database and has been evaluating talent ever since — from camps, combines, live games, and film. Rivals’ experts have ranked hundreds of thousands of athletes, including legends like Vince Young, Adrian Peterson, Tim Tebow, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant.

With unmatched experience, Rivals continues to shape the future of recruiting — and now, Rivals Recruits gives athletes the tools to gain exposure and take control of their journey.

Stars Matter

It’s proven: stars matter in recruiting. Over the last decade, rankings from Rivals, ESPN, and 247Sports have consistently predicted success.

In the 2023 NFL Draft, 81.3% of Five-Star prospects were selected — making them 24x more likely to be drafted than 2-Star or unrated players. Across the last three drafts, 71% of all Five-Star athletes have been drafted.

While top athletes are thriving with NIL and transfer opportunities, most high school players still struggle to gain meaningful exposure.

The Exposure Gap

Today’s biggest recruiting challenge? Visibility. Athletes are working harder than ever, but their stories often get lost on algorithm-driven social platforms, where content is buried or missed.

Until now, there hasn’t been a true, athlete-first platform to manage and share your full recruiting journey. What was once only available to elite prospects is now accessible to all athletes working to get recruited or level up.

Rivals Recruits puts athletes on a much bigger stage. Backed by On3 Media — one of the most-viewed platforms in college sports and the largest social media reach in recruiting (Rivals, Hayes Fawcett and Joe Tipton), — it connects you to millions of fans, coaches, and key decision-makers across the high school and college landscape.

What Makes Rivals Recruits Different

Rivals Recruits is more than just a profile — it’s a complete platform built to help athletes stand out and succeed. Here’s what sets it apart:

• Verified Player Profiles: Build a credible, centralized page with stats, film, and achievements.
