Recruiting is new to fishing, but NSR is not new to recruiting. For over 40 years NSR has been helping athletes fulfill their dreams of playing at the next level. If you are serious about wanting to fish in college, it's time to get serious and join the NSR High School Pro Staff.

ONLINE RECRUITING PROFILE

The prospect’s personal profile and other scouting information will be maintained on the NSR website. Every college coach and admissions officer in America has free access to the NSR files at all times. Your NSR recruiting profile will contain your competition schedule, tournament reports, evaluation videos, and everything else that college coaches need to see to evaluate a prospective student-angler. Keeping this information up-to-date is critical to the success of your recruiting process.

NSR SIGNING ANNOUNCEMENT

NSR will send an announcement notifying selected colleges that the prospect has qualified for the NSR High School Pro Staff. The announcement will include a scouting report detailing the prospect’s NSR recruiting profile and will be the first step of The NSR Exposure Program.

Regional college selection

Based on criteria furnished by the angler, NSR will search out all colleges meeting the angler’s qualifications and goals. Area of the country, size of the school, and other factors will be used to determine the colleges selected. NSR will send the angler’s complete information and video to the schools that meet your criteria. NSR ensures that all coaches in your target regions know that you’re available for recruitment and they have the most up-to-date information on you.

ANGLER BROCHURE

NSR will design an Angler Brochure which will contain your complete fishing and academic profile. This brochure will include honors, achievements, academic and fishing statistics, a personal message written by the angler, and photos. By scanning the unique QR Code on your brochure, college coaches can easily access your profile and videos.

Brochure PROMOTION

The athlete may select 25 colleges per year for a special mailing of their Angler Brochure. NSR will send the college coaching staffs an individual mailing on the angler, including his or her Brochure and a Letter of Recommendation from NSR stating that the prospect has chosen their school to receive this special promotion. Colleges know you are serious about their school when they receive your Brochure.

evaluation video edit

Using the footage from videos furnished by the angler, NSR will edit and produce a top-quality master Evaluation Video demonstrating the angler’s abilities. The video may include a personal message, interviews with coaches, skills demonstrations, combine or showcase drills, on-the-water footage, graphics, and background music to enhance the Evaluation Video. Prospects can also update and add to videos at any time. Keeping the coaches updated with new footage is crucial for your recruiting. This could be what lands you the opportunity of a lifetime.

Video promotion

Each year NSR will send the NSR Video Promotion to 100 colleges of the prospect’s choice. This Video Promotion will have a direct link to the prospect’s video page and a message citing the prospect’s interest in that school.

TOTAL COLLEGE EXPOSURE

Each month NSR will contact colleges across the country and provide coaches access to all of the NSR Recruiting Profiles and contact information. The coaches are alerted to new anglers and anglers that have recently updated their profile within the last month.

College coach request

College coaches regularly contact NSR requesting recommendations and referrals on anglers meeting specific criteria. If the angler meets those requirements, an updated profile, complete data file, and a direct link to the angler’s video will be sent to each college requesting that information.

Recruiting organizer

NSR will provide the angler with a digital recruiting organizer to keep track of coach contacts, communications, and other recruiting activity. You can also see when a coach watched your video, requested your contact info, searched your NSR Recruiting Profile, or even when the coach downloads your brochure.

USCORE TEST PREP

NSR will provide an opportunity for the angler to enroll in one ACT or SAT prep course through uScore Test Prep. This course comes with a two-point guaranteed increase on the ACT. Two points can mean thousands of dollars in academic money or could help you get accepted to your dream school. Take advantage of this incredible opportunity to raise your test scores and become a more recruitable angler. The uScore program was built for the high school angler with a busy schedule.

Scholarship search

NSR has researched and found several comprehensive websites that offer a thorough and straightforward way to search for non-athletic scholarship/grant money. These websites will be provided to you, and our staff will be available to help with any assistance you may need in applying for these scholarships/grants. This is scholarship money in addition to any academic scholarship money you may receive.
