VSRecruit was built from real experience—not theory.

Evan Colon, a quarterback at St. Mary's High School, started his recruiting journey like thousands of other athletes: motivated, talented, and determined—but quickly overwhelmed. The process of getting recruited wasn't just about playing well. It meant emailing coaches, building exposure, managing social media, tracking camps, following up consistently, and trying to stand out in a crowded field.

Doing all of that alone? It was tedious, time-consuming, and inefficient.

So Evan decided to solve the problem.

Using his own Gmail account as the foundation, he created a streamlined system to reach out to college coaches more effectively. What started as a personal solution quickly evolved into something much bigger—a complete recruiting toolkit designed specifically for athletes.

VSRecruit helps student-athletes do more than get recruited — we help them get in, get funded, and get ready. From emailing college coaches directly, to finding scholarships that fit, to mastering the built-in SAT/ACT calculator, VSRecruit puts the whole path in one place. We built it especially with D2 and D3 athletes in mind, where academics and outside scholarships make the biggest difference.

VSRecruit now includes

  • Custom emails to communicate with coaches professionally and consistently
  • A response guide to help athletes confidently reply and keep conversations moving
  • Social media growth tools, including hashtag generators, scheduled Instagram and X posts, and a personalized 7-day growth plan
  • A built-in calendar to track camps, junior days, and key recruiting events
  • Outreach tools to connect with high school sports writers for added exposure
  • A NIL database that helps athletes connect with local and regional businesses to earn income
  • A Scout Program that allows users to promote the platform and earn recurring monthly income through referrals
  • A NEW Roster Analyzer that shows which schools project real roster spots at your position for your class year — so you pitch schools with room for you

These tools weren't built in theory—they were built out of necessity.

And they worked.

With this system, Evan increased his exposure, connected with coaches, earned campus visits, and secured college opportunities.

Now, VSRecruit exists to give every athlete that same advantage.

Because recruiting shouldn't be about who has the most time, connections, or resources—it should be about giving every athlete the tools to be seen.
