Do you want a proven process & structure to follow, step by step?
If you're looking for someone to do all the work for you, our Accelerator is NOT for you. This is for proactive parents who want to be more efficient with their time & money in recruiting.
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.
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.

We Are Your Partner in College Recruiting.
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.
What's Included & How It Works
Watch the walkthrough video for more detailed information on each aspect of the Accelerator.
D1 Scholarship Playbook
Our comprehensive playbook contains step-by-step instructions on every aspect of the recruiting process from making videos to setting up automated email systems, from our complete stack of proven email & DM scripts to how to handle phone calls with coaches, and everything in-between.
Exclusive Q&A Community
You'll get access to our D1 Scholarship Community of families. You can see other families' questions, ask your own questions, and read our D1 Scholarship staff's answers. It's the equivalent of being able to text us any time you have a question or need advice.
6 Weekly Video Office Hour Calls
You'll get access to 6 weekly video office hour calls where you can discuss your recruiting situation via Zoom with our experts. You can also hear questions other Accelerator families have and learn from our answers.
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
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.
Is this a full service recruiting program?
No. This is not a $10,000 service where we do all the work for you. If that's what you're looking for, the Accelerator is not for you. The Accelerator is for parents who want to be more efficient with their time, money and energy in the recruiting process - and maximize their athlete's scholarship opportunities.
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.
