All ratings are subjective and are based on the time of the evaluation. All prospects have the ability to improve, grow, and earn a higher rating as they navigate through their high school career. We view rating evaluations as a fluid and ongoing process.
- D3/NAIA/JUCO: ⭐(Or better)
Considered a D3/NAIA caliber player. Lacks big plays, undersize, and needs technique work. Shows a glimpse of play-making ability, still needs technique work and maybe undersized. Also could not meet D2+ academic requirements.
- D2: ⭐⭐(Or better)
Undersized playmaker makes a couple of big plays, lacks technique, missing that next gear/motor.
- D1-FCS: ⭐⭐⭐ (Or better)
Makes a few big plays, maybe undersized, missing a gear/motor, their technique needs to be polished. Could be FBS just missing a tool. Little pro potential.
- D1-FBS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Group of 5 / Power 5)
Could be a 2-3 year starter at a Mid Major or low tier Power 5 and a 3-4 year starter at an FCS program. Big-time playmaker may be undersized, just doesn’t have that power 5 twitch, and playmaking ability. Has possible pro potential.
- D1-FBS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Power 5)
The best player on the field every Friday night. If they went mid-major would be a 3-4 year starter. 2-4 year starter at power 5. Has good pro potential.
