RECRUTING for 2027’s and 2028’s
FBS Recruiting: What Parents of 2028s Need to Know
✅
1. What is a “Dead Period”?
A dead period means college coaches cannot have in-person contact with recruits.
That means:
- ❌ No in-person meetings
- ❌ No school visits
- ❌ No watching them compete in person
But…
- ✅ Calls, texts, emails, and DMs ARE still allowedSo: dead period = no in-person, not no communication.
📅
2. When Can Coaches Start Contacting 2028s?
For Division I football:
📞 June 15, 2026 = Coaches can begin direct communication with Class of 2028 recruits (calls, texts, emails, DMs).
Before that date:
- Coaches can watch film
- Coaches can follow on social media
- Coaches can send general info
- ❌ But they cannot start private 1-on-1 recruiting conversations
🔑
3. Big Picture Timeline (Simple Version)
- 🏈 Before June 15, 2026: Evaluation + general info only
- 📞 Starting June 15, 2026: Direct recruiting contact opens for 2028s
- 🏫 Junior/Senior years: More in-person recruiting windows open depending on the NCAA calendar
- ⛔ During Dead Periods: No in-person recruiting, but digital communication is still OK
📌
Quick Parent Summary
✔️ Dead period = no in-person recruiting
✔️ Calls/texts/emails can still happen
✔️ 2028s can be contacted directly starting June 15, 2026
✔️ Until then, development + film + exposure is the focus
