Accelerate Your Kid's Recruiting Process, Get 10x More Exposure, and Have Our Team As Your Partner In College Recruiting
Without trusting your coach to "connect" you with schools, relying on showcases & camps all over the country for exposure, and feeling overwhelmed by the whole process.

Most families move at a snail's pace in college recruiting. Here's why.
They try 100 different "tactics" they saw on social media & don't have a true game plan.
They manually send emails & DMs - one by one - to college coaches.
They don't have enough video & other types of talent evidence to prove to coaches that their kid is worth recruiting right now.
They spend tens of thousands of dollars on showcases & camps for "exposure" that never amounts to anything and results in travel fatigue
They assume that free information on social media & webinars will be enough to compete with families who are spending $10,000+ on the college recruiting process
They think their kid is good enough to get discovered on talent alone, only to find out senior year that college recruiting only works like that for the top 5% of athletes
This is playing the recruiting game on "hard mode." And it's why many families have less interest & offers than they expected and hoped for.
The Hidden Cost of "Do It Yourself" Recruiting
Many families try "doing it themselves" to save money. But often, it ends up costing more time & money. Sometimes, getting an expert's help is the most cost-efficient & time-efficient option.
Wasting dozens of hours. Families spend hours upon hours making videos, sending emails, and posting content on social media that will never work. This leads to energy spent and nothing to show for it.
Throwing away money on events. Families spend thousands of dollars on "exposure" showcases & camps that don't product tangible results. They throw money at the process and hope it all works out.
Frustration & confusion. They spend early mornings and late nights wondering what they're doing wrong, why it's not going well, and how they're going to make their kid's dream happen.
Less & worse scholarship offers. Families end up under-utilizing their kid's talent, and get less (or worse) offers than the kid is capable of getting. This can cost them tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships.
It's not about what you save "today." It's about what you save over the 4-years of your athlete's collegiate career. Families who save tens of thousands of dollars don't ask $1,000 questions. They ask $100,000 questions.
What if you could get 10x more exposure, position your kid as a top tier prospect, and stand out in oversaturated recruiting pools...in half the time.
That's what the D1 Scholarship Accelerator is all about.

6 Recruiting Beliefs Holding You Back
Parents are often made out to be these crazy people who think their kid is the next LeBron James or Patrick Mahomes. But I haven't really found this to be the case.
Most families have reasonable expectations.
They just want their kid to attend a school where they can continue their career, get a great education, meet lifelong friends, mature into a productive member of society, have some fun, and set themselves up for a great life.
The problem is that lots of parents secretly hold beliefs that prevent their kid from ever doing that.
Belief #1
"My high school coach is useless..."
"Our high school coach is not helpful at all. He says he's working on behalf of the kids, but I don't see it. If he would just get up off the couch and make a few phone calls, we'd be in a completely different position..."
Belief #2
"Emailing college coaches doesn't work..."
"We've sent emails out. Most of the schools didn't respond at all, and the ones that did just sent us a generic camp invite that they send to everybody. I don't think email works..."
Belief #3
"Only the big travel teams get looks..."
"We've been to all the big showcases. College coaches only watch the players from the big organizations. None of the lesser known players get a look, even if they're more talented. If only we were on a better travel team..."
Belief #4
"If they would just get to know my kid..."
"If I could just get these coaches in a room with my kid, they'd see what they're missing out on. He's got amazing game IQ and sees the field differently than other players. There's just no way to showcase that..."
Belief #5
"I don't feel like we're doing that bad..."
"I've seen all the videos on social media. I've been to the webinars. I just find it hard to believe there's additional information out there that could help us. I mean we're not doing great, but we're not doing terribly..."
Belief #6
"Is it too late...?"
"Coaches are already done recruiting our class. We started too late. There's nothing we can do..."
The reality is that none of these things should hold you back.
If you feel like the recruiting deck is stacked against you, it's not. You're probably just playing the game on "hard mode." You're using old tactics. You're taking advice from people who don't really know what they're talking about. You're getting burned out.
Remember, the recruiting process doesn't reward hard work and good intentions. It rewards those who know how to play the game.
The Only 3 Things You Need To Get Recruited
Talent
Your kid must be good enough to play at the schools you're shooting for. No amount of exposure will solve a talent problem.
For most families, this is typically not the issue. Most parents aren't putting in time & money because their kid is getting dominated by other athletes. Their kid is usually doing the dominating.
Evidence
Then you need evidence of talent. You can't just say, think or believe that your kid is good enough. You have to prove it.
There are 9 different types of evidence that you should be providing to college coaches. Most parents send video and stats, and assume that's enough. It's not.
Exposure
Then you need enough college coaches to know who your kid is. The best player in the world will go un-recruited if they're hidden away from college coaches.
Exposure comes down to 2 things: getting as many college coaches as possible to know your kid's name, and getting those coaches to evaluate your kid as many times as possible.
If your kid is talented, you have proof of that, and a lot of college coaches see that proof...how does your kid NOT get recruited?

We've already done the hard part of figuring out what works. Simply copy what we do.
We've put an astronomical amount of time and effort into figuring out how to most effectively get recruited. Years of work. Millions of messages. Hundreds of hours of coaching calls. Here's how we figured out what works:
We've been at this for years, so we've been able to see (up close) how the recruiting process is ebbing, flowing and changing.
We've helped hundreds of families in a hands-on environment. If you count livestreams, it's in the tens of thousands.
Our athletes have sent over 1 million emails & DMs to college coaches.
We've personally reviewed, edited or created more than 10,000 highlight videos
We've helped families in 14 different sports and have a front row seat to see the nuances & differences between them
We've generated tens of millions of dollars in scholarship money
We analyzed 8,446 athletes in 2025 to see how kids are ACTUALLY getting recruited (not how people "think" they're getting recruited)
Here's the point: we're not guessing. When we tell you to do something, it's because we believe there's an extremely high probability that it'll produce results for you based on the fact that it's produced incredible results for other families.
Our strategies & tactics are not just based on personal experience, but rather cold hard data behind thousands of athletes. This is information other recruiting services, advisors and platforms don't have & that we don't share publicly.
Introducing the Accelerator, a Proven System to Get 10x More Exposure & Have a Partner in Recruiting...
No more throwing money at the "showcase & camp machine" and hoping it works out

No more spending dozens of hours on things that won't work
No more sleepless nights wondering how you're going to make this happen
No more tearful conversations in the car after seeing your kid's friends receive offers
Don't wonder if there's more you could have done for your kid. Give them the best possible chance to play at the next level.

Structure
The D1 Scholarship Accelerator is for families who want a plan. This is not a "willy-nilly" recruiting program.
This is a step-by-step program where you'll have clear instructions every step of the way.
Guidance
The D1 Scholarship Accelerator is for families who want specific guidance unique to their situation and sport.
The obstacles you face will be different than another family's. We give advice to each family dependent on the situations that arise for them.
Support
The D1 Scholarship Accelerator is for families who want a support system in recruiting.
One of our families put it best: "You guys are always present. You're just always there." Recruiting is emotional and not for the faint of heart, and we're with you every step of the way.
If you want a recruiting partner who is deeply invested in your process and truly cares about your kid's future, the D1 Scholarship Accelerator is for you. This is our north star.
How This Can Save You Time, Money & Sanity
Save Thousands on Showcases
Most families are wasting thousands of dollars on showcases & camps that are worthless. One thing we often advise families on in the Accelerator is how to ensure an event is worth your time and money before you attend.
The Accelerator could potentially save you thousands, and earn you back a few extra weekends.
Accelerate Your Process By Months
When you're "figuring" out the process, you're often actively moving in the wrong direction.
You ever been in a car going the wrong way? To rectify the mistake, you had to retrace your steps back to square 1, then begin your journey heading the right way.
In the Accelerator, we save families from heading the wrong direction & setting themselves back many months.
Save Hours of Frustration
When you're not sure what to do next, frustration sets in. You're stuck between a rock and a hard place: you don't want to waste time doing the wrong thing, but you don't want to sit there and do nothing.
In the Accelerator, we'll give you clear next steps so you always know what you should be working on next.
No More Listening to "Johnny"
You know Johnny...that parent in the bleachers who thinks he's "God's gift to recruiting" but doesn't actually know what he's talking about?
In the Accelerator, you get access to experts who have helped families just like you. We don't have an agenda. We don't have to posture to brag about our kid. We're just there to help you get more interest & scholarship offers.
No More Fighting With Your Kid
"Did you look up the coach's contact information yet?" No. "Have you sent your emails today?" No.
In addition to giving you clear next steps that both you & your athlete can follow, we can also take some of the work off your plate.
Finally Get Peace of Mind
When you're in the Accelerator, you can be sure you're working on the right things. You're doing them the right way. You're giving your kid the absolute best chance to get recruited.
You have a team of experts to lean on. You have other families in the trenches with you. And you're actively working on giving your kid a better future. What could be better?
If you had our team -- responsible for tens of millions of dollars in scholarships -- advising you through the process & even taking on some of the work for you, do you think you'd get more or less scholarship offers from college coaches?

Frequently Asked Questions
For the automated email system, are the emails generic or personalized?
All emails are personalized with the coach's last name and the school name. There is nothing in the emails - no mark, tag, text or anything of the sort - that makes the email look automated. It looks exactly like a normal email.
How old should my athlete be for the Accelerator?
Your athlete should be a Sophomore, Junior or Senior in high school OR a collegiate athlete looking to transfer.
What sports is this for and will I get sport-specific advice?
We have 14 different sports inside the Accelerator including baseball, basketball, football, soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, softball, water polo, rugby, golf, tennis, hockey, track & field, and womens flag football. You will receive both sport-specific advice AND situation specific advice. So the strategies, tactics, and guidance you receive will not just be tailored to your sport, but also to your unique situation.
How do I know the coach contact data will be accurate?
We update the data every single month to ensure that all data is as accurate as possible. Coach volatility is a real thing in recruiting, and we take it very seriously.
Founder, D1 Scholarship
Who I am & Why You Should Care
Hey, I'm Jack Kruger. You might have seen me on Instagram or TikTok, featured in the New York Times, or on National Television (that one time).
Career: 7+ years of professional baseball (no one ever expected this to happen) in the Los Angeles Angels & Texas Rangers organizations
Experience: Been through the recruiting process twice, attended the University of Oregon, Orange Coast College, and Mississippi State University (it's a long story)
Since Starting D1 Scholarship: We've helped hundreds of athletes across 14 different sports generate tens of millions of dollars in scholarships. When we first started D1 Scholarship, we never imagined we'd get to where we are. It's been such a privilege to help with amazing families.
I know what it's like to hate the recruiting process. I know what it's like to feel invisible. I know what it's like to feel like no one understands what I'm capable of.
But I also know what it's like to figure it out. And to have dozens of coaches calling me. And to get 6-figure scholarship offers. And if you want, my team and I can show you all of our best performing strategies that we've kept hidden all these years. Totally up to you, but I'd love to see you inside the Accelerator.
