Preston Jackson sits down with current Auburn University assistant football coach Jeris McIntyre for an inside look at how college coaches really evaluate high school football players.

Jeris breaks down what separates a recruit who gets noticed from one who gets overlooked, including effort, physicality, football IQ, competitiveness, body language, development, and the details coaches see on film that never show up in the box score.

The conversation goes beyond recruiting rankings and highlight tapes. We get into how college coaches evaluate potential, what families and athletes often misunderstand about the recruiting process, and what players can control if they want to earn the attention of college programs.

And because this is Auburn, we also dive into the traditions, rivalries, stories, and culture that make college football unlike anything else in sports.

If you’re a high school football player, parent, coach, or anyone trying to understand college football recruiting, this episode will give you a perspective you rarely hear directly from inside a college football program.

Watch until the end. You may never look at recruiting the same way again.
