Football Hotbed in an effort to assist young men in accomplishing their dreams of playing college football, is once again hitting the road to ignite the recruiting for qualified student-athletes who are invited to take the tour with us to several colleges across the Northeast. This is the nation’s academic epicenter. To qualify, send your information and film & official transcript to Football Hotbed by emailing us at info[at]footballhotbed. com.

THE MINIMUM GPA REQUIRED FOR THIS TOUR: 3.6 overall (weighted or non-weighted)
Our first annual All-Academic & Ivy League Tour comes years after beginning our first tours across the Southeast and throughout Texas. Those tours have proved to be a great way for athletes who desire to play football at elite programs, to get an up-close look at the facilities, meet and network with coaches and truly get an understanding of what it takes to play on those elite levels of Football. We’ve had athletes from over ten states across the United States participate in tours with us throughout the southeast and Texas. This year, we want you.
Without any tours set up for high academic performing student-athletes, we thought it necessary to enter this space and provide some needed guidance and help parents and kids desiring to put their degrees first and the opportunity to search for the best program fit among the nation’s elite high academic programs. Our tours afford athletes the ability to move in and out of schools quickly and efficiently while maximizing exposure and reducing costs as we visit as many as 12 programs during each tour and no less than 8 over five days and four nights.
FAQs
Why should I consider doing a college tour with Football Hotbed?
You can tour nearly any college by reaching out to a coach or member of the athletic department of any of the Division One college football programs that interest you. Most times, you’ll be accommodated and given a basic facility tour. If you’re a talented athlete based off your film, you’ll be afforded a bit more access. Taking a tour with Football Hotbed gives you access despite your skill level. It allows you to go behind the scenes and learn what it truly takes to play at the highest levels of football. The biggest reason, however, is that every time we enter a school, we provide a prospect list first. Your film is usually attached, and participation almost guarantees each school we visit will have evaluated your film. This is a priceless guarantee. Good film leads to opportunities that can lead to scholarships. In the Ivy League, good film and elite grades can lead to acceptance into America’s most prestigious institutions.
What does the tour price cover?
Tours are a nearly weeklong experience with lots of travel and expenses. Our tour fee covers room and transportation. Each athlete is responsible for his own meals and spending money for snacks and any souvenirs. Tour participants are also responsible for covering the costs of any college camps we attend. While camping is NOT required, it’s encouraged on dates we’ve identified as camp dates for athletes.
