WHATS DIFFERENT ABOUT US?
The National High School Exposure and Future 4 is an off-season showcase designed to help get high school athletes to college. Increasingly, these off-season evaluations and camps are being weighed heavier in the recruiting process. It’s like taking a standardized academic test. While they aren’t the true measure of ability, they are a good indication and colleges, recruiting services and scouts are using them to draw conclusions about your athlete. During our first-ever middle school Future 4, 2019 QB Spencer Rattler (AZ) and 2019 QB Brian Mauer (FL) both finished in the top 5 in Middle School. In the summer of 2018 during THE OPENING, the nation’s premier High School Event, Rattler and Mauer both made the finals and Rattler walked away as the Elite 11 winner and overall MVP. Both kickstarted their careers at the National Middle School Invitational Showcase. Our High School Showcase is no different.
Running back T.J. Brooks, a two-time High School Exposure Showcase MVP used his performances on our platform to pad his resume. He was completely unrecruited until the very end of his senior season. Eventually, he signed with Charleston Southern University. The accolades and article exposure that he received participating on our platform helped him accomplish his goals.
ARE YOU SLEPT ON? Class of 2022, do you feel slept on? A kid who answered this question last spring came to our HS exposure showcase 2X. He was a 2X MVP. He had no offers. His senior year he earned a scholarship to Charleston Southern. #TheProcess#hotbedworld@ShockDoctorpic.twitter.com/30lwVh3eRO
The biggest difference is having actually college coaches on the field at our showcase. We are inviting Division II & NAIA coaches from across the country and they will be on hand to watch workouts. It’s a chance to get ahead in the recruiting process and improve your standing with schools that may not even know who you are. During the pandemic, many students will lose opportunities and to combat this, we’re hosting our fourth annual Exposure Showcase. Please keep in mind, Division I and FCS coaches ARE NOT ALLOWED to attend our showcase but everything we do is recorded. So, because of this, a great camp can lead to many additional exposure opportunities via the Hudl film you will receive as a participant in this showcase.
Secondly, the opportunity to compete with some of the best athletes in your high school graduation class and earn the title of best at your position is a resume-boosting experience that can empower young athletes with confidence. In the past, winners of this event have gone on to receive significant attention from colleges and even offers. For example, in 2017 DB Nigel Bethel, II ran a 4.38 40 yard dash time at our first-ever showcase and he eventually signed with the University of Miami and later transferred to the University of Colorado.
Since 2014, Football Hotbed has created four national showcase platforms with youth football athletes in mind. The goal is to provide exposure, empower each athlete with metrics of their performance ability and create a competitive environment that produces improvement and provides a measuring stick for future success. We film our showcases and put them on Hudl as a part of camp registration. We do so the give every athlete the opportunity to gain the maximum exposure from our events.

The 12th Annual Football Hotbed National Middle School Invitational Showcase quarterback competition kicked off Monday at Duke University with a full day of evaluation and competition featuring some of the nation’s top young signal callers. The day began with combine testing, transitioned into routes on air, and concluded with the highly anticipated QB Test, with scores from all three phases combined to establish the Day One leaderboard in each graduating class. Future 4 Director and Head Quarterback Coach Drew Phillips came away impressed with the level of talent on display. “This is one of the deepest and most talented groups we’ve had in recent years,” Phillips said. “The arm talent, football IQ, and competitiveness these young quarterbacks showed today was outstanding. There are several players here with very bright futures ahead of them.” The competition will conclude Tuesday at Raleigh’s Ravenscroft School, where quarterbacks will compete in live throwing sessions and final evaluations to determine the overall champions in each class.
