How to get recruited by Western Carolina University Football
Most college Football coaches don’t respond to unsolicited emails. It’s important you build a relationship with the coaching staff. This is one of the ways SportsRecruits can help. You can certainly start by filling out the Western Carolina University Football’s recruiting questionnaire and getting on their list, but that’s only the start. To get actively recruited, a college coach needs to see you compete, which is why it’s important to have an online athletic recruiting profile.

Just having a recruiting profile doesn’t guarantee you will get recruited.
