Founder, IAS
In early 2024, I found myself standing at a crossroads — grappling with what it actually takes to develop a young football player into a college-ready athlete. My son had the talent. He had the drive. What we didn't have was a roadmap, and nobody was going to hand us one.
I poured hours, energy, and money into finding the right coaches, the right camps, the right training environments. Scrolling directories. Comparing clinics. Booking blindly. Hoping I wasn't missing something that mattered.
It was exhausting. And it was lonely. Because nobody tells you this part.
The recruiting services wanted money before I understood what I was buying — upfront commitments that promised exposure and delivered spreadsheets. The parents who'd already been through it were guarded. They'd figured it out the hard way and didn't have the bandwidth to walk anyone else through it.
What our family needed was someone in the middle. Not a recruiter. Not a coach. Not a highlight editor. A translator between where we were and where the college football system was actually moving — someone who could tell us the next right thing to do without selling us the whole thing.
Auburn offered my 8th grader.
Not because we got lucky — because we stopped reacting and started executing.That's what IAS is for the family next in line. Not the promise of an offer. The game plan to get to one — without losing your family in the process.
