I measured every roster in college football.

537 schools. 54,622 players. Height, weight, class year, position.

Not scouting rankings. Not recruiting-service guesses.

The actual bodies on actual rosters.

Here's why a JUCO head coach spent his summer doing that. 🧵

Waiting until after the holidays to email coaches is how you end up asking for a seat that was filled in December.

Nov: rosters publish who is leaving. Boards get built.
Dec: signing period. Rooms shrink.
Jan: portal. Transfers first.
Feb: the room was set two months ago.

Email this week. Rooms with holes first. Link in the reply.

"Which division is he?" is the wrong first question. It is why families freeze in November.

A program can be the right level and still be stacked at his spot.

Ask which programs need him. Then see what levels they are.

Tape: 6 to 8 plays, best first. Email the position coach, his own address. Nobody publishes forties, so nobody has a cutoff.

Every recruiting article on page one of Google was written by a company selling a profile. None of them counted a roster.

They all answer "how do I get noticed." Nobody answers "which programs need my kid this year."

That one has an answer. Open the roster. Count his position by class. 5+ seniors is a hole. 0 is a wall.

575 programs, already counted. Link in the reply.

You emailed the OL coach Tuesday night. Wednesday morning, no idea if he opened it.

Now you know. Every OfferPath card has four tracked links. A coach opens one and your home screen says when, from which link, and whether it was within two days of your email to that school.

What he sees: name, class, the big three, and the film already playing. One tap, no login.

Honest version: it never says WHO opened it. Could be the coach, could be anyone with the link. Previews don't count.
