All Sports. One Platform.
Supporting athletes across all major sports
The recruiting game changed.
The playbook didn't.
Athletes have been stuck paying services, chasing agents, and flooding inboxes just to get seen. UpDrafted hands the pen back to the player.
The old way
- Hand $300–$500 a month to a recruiting service
- Let a middleman decide which coaches hear your name
- Send cold emails that never get opened
- Scatter highlights across Hudl, 247, and IG
- Wait months to find out if anyone saw your film
The UpDrafted way
- Free to build a profile coaches actually search
- Zero middlemen — your pitch goes straight to the staff
- Direct message verified college coaches in-app
- One profile links out to every place your game already lives
- Always free — premium only if you want higher limits
Three steps. Zero gatekeepers.
From first signup to sitting across the table from a head coach — you drive every step.
Build your recruiting profile
Link your Hudl, MaxPreps, ESPN, 247, socials, academics, and measurables. UpDrafted is the hub — coaches click through to every profile your game already lives on.
Get found by verified coaches
Coaches search by sport, position, graduation year, region, and measurables. If you fit their board, you show up — whether you paid for exposure or not.
Message coaches directly
Slide straight into the DMs of verified college coaches. No intermediaries, no lost emails — just you and the staff, talking.
We're not another recruiting service.
We're the platform that replaces them.
Every other recruiting tool puts a layer between you and the coach — a rep, a subscription, a curated list. UpDrafted is where the two of you just talk. Your film, your pitch, your future, your words.
Verified coaches only
Every coach on the platform is manually verified against their institution. No catfish, no imposters, no cold-calls.
Direct messaging built in
Real conversations, in real time. Read receipts and a history you actually own.
No pay-to-be-seen
Your profile is discoverable for free. No upsell to unlock being noticed by your dream program.
You own your data
Export your profile, links, and message history any time. You built it. It's yours.
Whatever your starting line looks like.
High school senior, transfer portal, JUCO climber, or flying in from overseas — the profile flexes to your story.
Class of '26, '27, '28
Get on college boards before signing day. Link your film, list your GPA and measurables, send one profile anywhere.
Entered the portal
Cut the noise. Reach staffs that actually need your position — today — and negotiate your next stop on your terms.
Stepping up from JUCO
Make the D1/D2 jump visible. Link your game film, list your season stats, and let 4-year programs find you.
Coming stateside
No US contacts, no problem. A profile coaches can translate, scout, and message — no visa hoops just to say hi.
Straight answers.
No fine print. No sales pitch.
