TENNESSEE TITANS, TENNESSEE FOOTBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION WELCOMED HUNDREDS OF HIGH SCHOOL COACHES AND COLLEGE RECRUITERS FOR ANNUAL RECRUITMENT FAIR

The Tennessee Titans, along with the Tennessee Football Coaches Association hosted its 6th Annual High School Recruiting Fair at Nissan Stadium. Over the past six years, more than 750 high school students have been given the opportunity to play football at a collegiate level.

The 2022 event welcomed more than 160 Tennessee high schools, as well as participants from 70 NCAA/NAIA colleges and universities across the 22 states.

Each year, the recruiting fair aims to provide additional exposure for high school student-athletes across the state, increasing their chances to play football at the collegiate level. Bringing these groups together allows colleges and universities with limited recruiting budgets to better evaluate the talent the state of Tennessee has to offer.

“At the Tennessee Titans we are consistently committed to engaging young athletes across the state and providing them the best possible opportunity to foster their academic and athletic careers at the collegiate level,” said Josh Corey, Titans Director of Marketing, Youth and Community Engagement. “Participating in college athletics offers students a ticket to solidifying a bright future. This fair benefits players across the state, but also coaches looking for top talent in both academics and sports.”

High school coaches in attendance had the opportunity to speak with the recruiters one-on-one, while displaying game film and evaluating bios, transcripts and test scores for all prospective recruits.

“One of the most rewarding parts of my job is watching student athletes succeed at the high school level and advance to pursue a college education while playing the sport they love,” said Coach Matt Bates, President of the TnFCA, and Assistant Head Football Coach/Head Wrestling Coach at Hardin Valley Academy. “Partnering with the Titans on this fair gives us an opportunity to connect coaches from across the country with superior talent they otherwise may not encounter – opening doors for both players and schools.”

The 6th Annual High School Football Recruiting Fair is one of many events and programs under the Tennessee Titans football outreach initiative, which is committed to addressing the needs of youth and high school football organizations across Tennessee, southern Kentucky and northern Alabama.
