[QUOTE="CogDog, post: 2008742, member: 9370"] Consider working with a private coach to enhance athletic development outside of sports practices. That means speed coach, strength coach, and possibly even position specific coaching if you can find it. A few of my close friends in high school were D1 athletes and they were constantly honing their craft with a coach outside of practice. It got them the individualized attention they needed to take their game to the next level. This might be costly in the short term, but could be well worth it if it gets your son the development needed to catch a coach’s eye and get his tuition paid for. As far as exposure goes, sign him up for regional lineman camps and skill camps. These are often held at small colleges, but end up having several school staffs invited to help run them as well as scout kids. I think it’s important to have a conversation with your son’s head football coach too. He is typically the point man on all inbound recruiting calls from colleges. Simply telling him that you want to play at the next level at least puts in his mind that he has an athlete who is interested and he could then relay that info to recruiters. Your son will get looks based on his size alone. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
