Follow or Hide Prospective Student-Athletes as a College Coach

As a College Coach, you have access to every student-athlete in the SportsRecruits database. To help you manage your recruiting pool efficiently, use the Follow and Hide features to organize prospects—track athletes you're interested in and filter out those who aren't the right fit for your program.

Follow Athletes

Mark a student-athlete you want to track throughout their recruiting journey. Following athletes helps you build and manage your recruiting pool over time. As your interest evolves and your list narrows within each recruiting cycle, you can Hide athletes you no longer want to Follow.

All Followed athletes are accessible in your My Recruits tab on the SportsRecruits platform and automatically sync to the EventBeacon mobile app.

Your list of Followed student-athletes is only visible to you and your staff.

*Note: When you Follow a student-athlete on SportsRecruits or EventBeacon, the student-athlete will not know they have been Followed—only that they have been viewed by your program. 

Hide Athletes

Remove a student-athlete from your search results when they're not the right fit for your program. Hidden athletes won't appear in your Discover Feed or Needs Feed, helping you focus on prospects that match your recruiting needs.

You will also be able to easily identify and filter out Hidden student-athletes from rosters on EventBeacon.

How to Follow and Hide Athletes on SportsRecruits

When you log into SportsRecruits, you'll see a list of student-athletes in your Discover Feed. Each card displays key information like position, grad year, height, weight, GPA, club and high school teams, plus available video.

To Follow or Hide an athlete within the Discover Feed:

• Click the Follow icon in the bottom left-hand corner of their athlete card to add them to your My Recruits tab
• Click the Hide icon in the bottom left-hand corner of their athlete card to remove them from your feed

You can also click on any card to view the athlete's full profile, including detailed athletic and academic information, upcoming events, and video.

To Follow or Hide an athlete directly from their student-athlete profile:

• Click the Follow icon in the top right-hand corner of their profile to add them to your My Recruits tab
• Click the Hide icon in the top right-hand corner of their profile to remove them from your feed

How to Follow and Hide Athletes on EventBeacon

There are two ways to Follow an athlete in the EventBeacon app:

All athletes Followed on the EventBeacon app automatically sync to the SportsRecruits platform and are accessible in your My Recruits tab.

Exporting your Followed Athletes

Once you have created a list of Followed student-athletes within the platform, you will have the ability to export that information in .csv format. These exports will be optimized for upload into most recruiting softwares, i.e. FrontRush, ARMs and JumpForward.
