Athletes Guide to Recruiting

Interested in playing at the next level? Hudl is here to help you get noticed. Start by updating your profile and highlights, this is a recruiter’s hub for infor­ma­tion on you, so make sure it’s a good rep­re­sen­ta­tion of who you are, as both a stu­dent and an athlete.

What are the most important fields for me to fill out?
You’ll see a R icon next to fields that are hidden from the public but are viewable by recruiters if you opt­ in to recruit­ing. The more filled out your profile is, the more comprehensive view recruiters will have of you as a student athlete.

What does my profile look like to a recruiter?
Below is a screenshot of what your profile will look like to a college recruiter once you opt in to recruit­ing, this is the same view you have of your own profile.

Can recruiters automatically see my information?
Recruiters can always find your pub­lic pro­file, but when you opt­ in to recruit­ing, they’ll have access to more of the con­tent that helps them eval­u­ate you as a recruitable ath­lete. This includes con­tact infor­ma­tion, your aca­d­e­m­ic and ath­let­ic stats, highlights and full videos of your games.

How do I change my coach contact information?
An admin on your coaching staff will need to update this information for the team on Hudl. To do so they’ll hover over Team and select Recruiting, then click Update Recruiting Contact. You can update your personal contact information or your guardians by editing your profile.

How do I create a highlight?
Start by tagging your highlights to pull out the most important moments from your game—follow these steps if you’re a football player on Hudl Classic, and these steps for all other sports. Next, create a premium highlight showcasing your versatility and using tools in our highlight creator to make it easy to find you in the video.

How can I send a full game video to a recruiter?
Once you opt­ in to recruit­ing, recruiters will have access to your full game videos, highlights, academic and athletic stats, and contact information.

Can I upload my own videos to my account?
Athlete’s do not have the ability to upload video. Reach out to a coach and ask if they can upload additional videos to your team’s video Library for you to use in a highlight.
