You decided that you want to play college football, and multiple schools are recruiting you, now what? For most people, choosing a college is the first big decision they will make in their life, and it is even more complicated for athletes. While most athletes want to play D1 football (because that is all they know), only 1 in 40 high school players actually play at the D1 level. So, how do you find the right division level and school for you?
First you must figure out what is important to you. Is it playing your freshman year? Playing for a particular coach? Being close to your family? Going to a top academic or athletic school? Having small class sizes, etc.? Once you know what you want, the next step is to figure out what school choices are available to you.
