Having a High School Football season in 2020 is far from a guarantee due to COVID-19 and the current rise in cases. In South Carolina, the Governor told the public plainly in a press conference that football is at stake if the number of cases didn't start to decrease and we can't get a hold of this virus. Each state is handling things differently but there is no certainty anywhere of any kind of football being played this Fall.
On top of no spring practices, the NCAA also announced recently that the temporary dead period in recruiting has been extended until at least August 31. That means no official or unofficial visits, no junior days, no in-person contact, and no summer camps. The recruiting process has changed and for a lot of student-athletes, that isn't necessarily a good thing.
Summer camps are where a lot of guys get on school's boards and start to make a name for themselves. Visits and Junior Days are where early impressions can be made and relationships started. All of that is out the window in this current timeframe we're in. That puts a lot of guys even further behind in the process than they were to begin with. And it makes coaches less willing to take chances on players because they don't get the chance to talk to them in person or see them go through drills.
So let's say worst-case scenario and there is no High School Football season this year...how does that effect student-athletes still trying to make a name for themselves in the realm of recruiting? No new film to put out, no camps to make an impression, and no visits to build a relationship. Having no season would be crushing to everyone, but it could be life-changing for many student-athletes.
We know the problems.....now we present the solution.
The TYGTAL Exposure Scouting Showcase: VIEW DAY EDITION
- DISCLAIMER: TYGTAL Exposure is a NCAA Certified Scouting Service -
**All necessary safety measures will be taken at event. Well-being of the athletes is of top priority. Athletes will need to bring their own water and temperatures will be taken during registration.**
WHY YOU CAN'T MISS THIS EVENT
The objective of the TYGTAL Showcase is to help underexposed athletes gain exposure and catch the attention of college coaches across the country. They also educate parents on the truths and lies in the world of recruiting and establish endgames for every student-athlete. There is purpose in everything they do and if it isn't beneficial to the athlete, it isn't done.
Every position group and drill at the TYGTAL showcase is recorded. There are multiple cameras to capture video of the event, including 7 tripod endzone cameras, drone cameras, and handheld cameras. No athlete, position group or drill goes unrecorded. But the cameras are doing more than just recording the event.
The Showcase will also be streamed LIVE over a private network that is accessible to college coaches across the country with TYGTAL subscriptions. There will be commentators on the broadcast as well throughout the event. They'll go over the importance of the drills being conducted, profile different players, talk about what TYGTAL provides student-athletes and much more.
Each athlete will have access to their individual film at some point after the Showcase so they can upload it to their HUDL account. Video from this showcase gives coaches an updated reference point. They get to see what you look like, if you've stayed in shape since last season, how much you've been training, and how you perform against high-level competition. What summer camps can't provide this year, this showcase will.
On top of all that, when you book a spot at the TYGTAL Showcase, a recruit interview is included, as well as a FREE VIEW DAY session to schedule whenever you would like. (To learn more about #VIEWDAY, click hashtag)
When you go to register for the showcase, you must first fill out an athletic questionaire which creates a FREE profile in the TYGTAL database. Be as informative as you can when filling it out because that is where coaches go to watch your film, watch your interview, check over your grades, and learn all about you.
The TYGTAL Showcase provides college coaches with all three pieces of the puzzle in the recruiting process; the film, accurate recruit info & interview, and video displaying athleticism, flexibility, quick twitch muscles, and explosiveness.
Over the last 10 years, TYGTAL Showcases have helped provide student-athletes the exposure they needed. Below are some quotes from players about how these showcases helped them in their recruiting process...

This is more than just a chance to compete or be seen. It's more than running a 40 and getting a t-shirt. It's an opportunity for real exposure in an unprecedented time in not just recruiting, but the whole world. It's a chance to wake everyone up, to get your name on recruiting boards and, potentially, even leave with an offer. With no guarantee of a season this Fall, will you take advantage of this opportunity or let it pass you by?
And who knows....if you come and show out you might even make the All-Showcase team...
