THE PROGRAMS ON OUR SPEAKERS

What college football programs say.

Endorsements for guest speaker Will Baggett, from the college football programs he's worked with.

In my eight years here, we've brought Will in multiple times to work with our guys. You need somebody who can connect and keep the guys active and engaged.

Kevin Washington · Director of Player Development · University of Texas Football

He's elite. This guy is a rock star. If you're considering using him — lock in, go use him.

Justice Jones · Director of Student-Athlete Development · Iowa State Football

I highly recommend Will. His message resonates deeply — helping our guys excel on the field and grow as individuals off it.

Bra Chungong · Player Development & Community Engagement · Georgia State Football

He didn't just teach us how to build our brand — he taught us how to be a man.

Jake Remsberg · Iowa State Football

GUEST SPEAKERS

Coach Chris Scott Jr.

Coach Chris Scott Jr.

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.

Kenneth Scott

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.

Coach Wade Mouton

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.

Education for the entire journey.

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

What it takes to play at the next level.

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.

UNDERSTANDING NCAA RECRUITING

The recruiting process, explained.

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.

THE RECRUITING ROADMAP

7th – 8th Grade

  • Fundamentals first
  • Academics on track
  • Skill development
  • Building good habits

9th – 10th Grade

  • Exposure begins
  • First highlight film
  • Camp participation
  • A clean social presence

11th Grade

  • The major recruiting year
  • Coach communication
  • Campus visits
  • Scholarship conversations

12th Grade

  • Signing day preparation
  • Roster and walk-on paths
  • Transfer portal education
  • Finding the right fit

UNDERSTANDING THE DIVISIONS

Thousands of paths beyond Division I.

NCAA Division I

  • The highest level of competition
  • The largest athletic budgets
  • Full and partial scholarships
  • National television exposure

NCAA Division II

  • Competitive football
  • Scholarship opportunities available
  • A strong balance of academics and athletics

NCAA Division III

  • No athletic scholarships
  • A strong academic focus
  • An excellent student-athlete experience

NAIA

  • Competitive football
  • Athletic scholarships available
  • Smaller campuses and class sizes

Junior College (JUCO)

  • A development opportunity
  • An academic recovery path
  • A route to NCAA programs

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

Name, image, likeness.

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 film that gets watched.

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

  • Three to five minutes, maximum
  • Best plays first
  • Clear player identification
  • Updated regularly

COMMON MISTAKES

  • Long intros before any football
  • Music playing over the film
  • Poor clip quality
  • No player identification
  • Too many average plays

SOCIAL MEDIA RECRUITING

Your feed is your resume.

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.

DO

  • Use your real name
  • Include your graduation year
  • List height and weight
  • Post your highlights
  • Celebrate your teammates
  • Show leadership
  • Engage professionally
  • Keep your profiles updated

DON'T

  • Post negativity
  • Use profanity
  • Argue with people online
  • Share inappropriate photos
  • Complain about coaches
  • Air out locker room issues
  • Share controversial content
