About Phenom Preps
Built for the ones
still fighting for a name.
Phenom Preps is a football recruiting and evaluation platform built on one belief: talent doesn't always come with exposure — but it deserves it. The five-stars will always get found. We built this for the kid grinding at a school nobody visits, the late bloomer, the 7v7 standout waiting on his first offer. If the film is real, we want the world to see it.
What We Do
Rankings
National, position, state, and class rankings for high school prospects — driven by film, not follower counts. Every athlete carries a Phenom Rating on the 5-star scale and knows exactly where he stands.
Evaluations
Every rated prospect gets a Phenom Verdict — a real, written evaluation after film review. No copy-paste scouting clichés. What we saw, what translates, what needs work. If the film review isn't done, the profile says so.
Exposure
Profiles built to be shared — highlight film front and center, verified measurables, offer sheets, visit timelines, and commitment coverage. When a kid earns his moment, we cover it like one.
Youth Division
Football starts long before varsity. Our youth board (ages 8–14) runs on the Phenom Bolts system — Prospect, Standout, Phenom — built for development, not pressure. No fake star ratings on 10-year-olds. Just honest recognition for kids putting in the work.
How Ratings Work
- Film first. Game tape leads. Camp and 7v7 film add context — they don't replace Friday nights.
- Competition weighed. Production gets measured against the level it came against. Dominating matters more when it's earned against real ones.
- Traits projected. We verify size and speed where we can and project what translates to the college game.
- Ratings move. New film drops, ratings get updated. A rating here is earned on grass — and it can rise. That's the whole point.
Who We Are
Phenom Preps is built by the team behind Phenom Elite — the Columbia, South Carolina athletic brand founded in 2013 that's been outfitting football players from youth fields to NFL Sundays. We've spent over a decade in the game with athletes at every level. Phenom Preps is the next step: not just equipping the next generation, but putting a spotlight on them.
