Recruiting that actually knows your name.

The college football recruiting process can feel like getting lost in a crowd. Profiles disappear into databases. Calls go unreturned. Families pay premium fees only to feel like one more name on a long list. We started EB Sports Recruiting because Ohio's athletes and their families deserve better than that.

Our Story

Our founder, Eric Brown, previously worked for one of the largest collegiate athletic recruiting services in the country, and he saw firsthand what gets lost at scale. Talented kids slipped through the cracks. Families with real questions got generic answers. The personal relationships that drive real recruiting outcomes are hard to maintain when you're managing thousands of athletes at once.

Before sports, he was a social worker. He spent his career walking alongside families through some of the hardest moments of their lives, listening, advocating, and getting things done. That background never left him. When he looked at the recruiting industry, he saw families who needed the same thing his social work clients always needed: someone in their corner who actually showed up.

EB Sports Recruiting is what happens when those two careers come together.

"I knew the system from the inside. I also knew what families really needed. Building EB Sports Recruiting was about putting those two things together and proving you can run a recruiting service the way a social worker would run it."
— ERIC BROWN, FOUNDER

Why Football. Why Ohio.

We specialize on purpose. We know Ohio football, including the high schools, the position coaches, the Division I, II, and III programs that recruit from this state, and the regional camps and combines that matter. We know how Ohio talent moves through the pipeline because we live it every day.

Specialization means our advice is sharper, our outreach lands with the right coaches, and our families don't pay for services they don't need. National platforms cast a wide net. We go deep.

What Makes Us Different

You work directly with us. No call centers. No rotating account managers. The person who builds your plan is the person you call when you have a question at 9 p.m. after a Friday night game.

Honest evaluations, not sales pitches. We tell families candidly where their athlete fits in the recruiting landscape, whether it is D1, D2, D3, NAIA, or JUCO. We build the plan around the truth, not around what gets you to sign up.

Strategy built around your athlete, not a template. Every athlete's film, academics, position, and personality are different. Your recruiting strategy should be too.

A social worker's approach. Recruiting is stressful. Decisions affect a family's finances, a kid's confidence, and where they'll spend the next four years of their life. We treat it that way.

Our Promise

Every athlete who works with us gets seen. Every family gets a real person on the other end of the phone. Every plan is built specifically for the kid in front of us, never pulled from a corporate playbook.

If your athlete is a football player in Ohio with a dream of playing at the next level, we'd love to hear from you.
