GUEST SPEAKERS
Host · Founder, Legendary Moves · 14 Years Inside College Football Recruiting
Coach Chris Scott Jr. spent 14 years in the rooms where scholarships actually get decided — evaluating film, advising families, and watching talented players get passed over for one reason: no one taught them how recruiting really works.
He built Legendary Moves to put that knowledge in one room. In this symposium he breaks down exactly what college coaches look for, how film and social media make or break offers, how NIL really works, and the paths beyond Division I that most families never hear about.
Former O-D All-American · Adjunct Professor, Rice University · Former Professional Athlete · Author · Creator, Social Health Brand · Founder of REACH
Kenneth Scott helps students and student-athletes understand who they are, communicate their value, build meaningful relationships, and create opportunities with intention. Through workshops, programs, and the REACH platform, he equips athletes and families with practical strategies to navigate recruiting, evaluate opportunities, and prepare for success beyond the game.
In this session, Kenneth shares lessons from his own journey as an O-D All-American, Division I athlete, and professional football player, helping athletes and parents understand the recruiting process, what coaches are evaluating, how relationships influence opportunities, and how to make informed decisions throughout their journey.
Founder, Student Athlete Grind Therapy (SAGT) · Athlete Mentorship & Development
Coach Wade Mouton founded Student Athlete Grind Therapy (SAGT) to bridge the gap between talent and character. Built on the GRIND principles of Grit, Resilience, Integrity, Navigation, and Determination, SAGT develops the whole athlete through leadership training, academic accountability, character development, athletic mentorship, and life-skills education.
His work meets families where they are. Through online mentorship, exposure opportunities, recruiting and NIL education, and personal development programs, SAGT prepares athletes ages 7 to 18 to compete at a high level while becoming confident leaders and responsible young adults.
His message is direct. Athletic ability creates opportunities, but discipline, leadership, and work ethic are what turn them into lasting success on the field, in the classroom, and beyond the game.
Founder, Team 28 · Mentor & Motivational Speaker
Desmond Johnson is a mentor, motivational speaker, and youth development advocate, and the founder of Team 28. He has committed himself to equipping student-athletes and young leaders with the tools to succeed on and off the field through discipline, accountability, and personal growth.
Drawing on real-life experience and a passion for serving others, he speaks on leadership, resilience, character development, overcoming adversity, building a winning mindset, and the life skills that matter beyond sports. His ability to connect with athletes, parents, coaches, and community leaders has made him a respected voice in athlete development.
Through Team 28, he creates opportunities and life-changing experiences that challenge the next generation to lead with purpose, integrity, and excellence.
Top 25 National Speaker · Former Chief of Staff, College Football Playoff · Personal Branding & Leadership
Nationally recognized as a Top 25 Speaker, Will Baggett brings an unmatched level of energy and engagement to every audience he addresses. From 2017 to 2020, he served as Operations Coordinator and Chief of Staff for the College Football Playoff, where the White House Department of Communications recognized him for his operational excellence and communication skills.
Over a decade of service to the sports industry, Will helped produce events including the Super Bowl, the Peach Bowl, the Final Four, and a host of college football bowl games.
Widely considered a leading authority on personal branding, body language, and soft-skills leadership, he uses his personality and quick wit to leave teams more inspired and connected than ever before.
Every year, thousands of talented players miss scholarship opportunities for one reason: no one taught their family how recruiting actually works. The film was fine. The athlete was good enough. The knowledge was missing.
At Offense-Defense Football Camps, development happens on the field and off it. Inside the Recruiting and Player Development Symposium, athletes and parents sit down with former college coaches, recruiting coordinators, personnel staff, NIL professionals, and people who have spent their careers inside the game. You leave knowing what to do next, and when to do it.
PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
Talent gets an athlete looked at. Habits, character, and preparation are what keep college coaches interested. This session is about closing the gap between the two.
WHAT ATHLETES LEARN
How college coaches evaluate prospects
Building a year-round training plan
Leadership and character development
Confidence and mental toughness
Position-specific expectations at the college level
What separates elite athletes from everyone else
TOPICS COVERED
UNDERSTANDING NCAA RECRUITING
Most families have the same questions, usually at the same time, and usually a year later than they should. We answer them directly, so you can act on them while there is still time.
WHAT OUR EXPERTS COVER
When recruiting actually starts
How coaches evaluate prospects
Official versus unofficial visits
Camp and showcase strategy
Where the scholarship opportunities are
Academic requirements and eligibility
Recruiting timelines by grade level
THE RECRUITING ROADMAP
UNDERSTANDING THE DIVISIONS
There are thousands of opportunities to keep playing. The goal was never just Division I. The goal is the right fit — the program where your athlete is wanted, can grow, and can graduate.
NIL EDUCATION
A lot of athletes chase NIL before they have done the work that makes NIL possible. We flip the order. NIL opportunities are earned through performance, branding, and reputation, and we show families how to build all three the right way.
WHAT FAMILIES LEARN
What NIL really is, in plain terms
Building a personal brand
Monetizing social media responsibly
Building real partnerships
Financial literacy basics
Protecting your brand and reputation
The myth is that NIL comes first. The fact is that opportunities follow the athletes who develop, who carry themselves well, and who are worth investing in.
HIGHLIGHT TAPE WORKSHOP
A coach decides in the first thirty seconds whether to keep watching. Most highlight films are too long, poorly organized, and bury the best plays. Our recruiting staff will sit with athletes and fix that.
WHAT WE TEACH
The right film length
Which clips to include, and which to cut
Position-specific film expectations
Editing technique
Hudl best practices
How to distribute film to coaches
RECOMMENDED FORMAT
COMMON MISTAKES
SOCIAL MEDIA RECRUITING
College coaches check social media before they ever pick up the phone. A single bad post can end interest that took years to build. We show athletes how to make their presence an asset instead of a liability.
