THE JOURNEY: The tale of a first-year kicker navigating through today's recruiting process
The world of high school football recruiting has been flipped upside down over the past three years.
Just look at the journey of Aiden Agostinelli from Strake Jesuit College Preparatory. After playing soccer for two seasons, he didn’t even start kicking until his senior year. Behind the curve? Absolutely. But instead of backing down, he doubled down — and now he’s earned offers from programs across every level of college football.
His path is unique, but it’s also a snapshot of the new recruiting reality — and the grind today’s high school players face.
Watch this.
