Why Is MT So Under Recruited?

Montana high school football players often go under-recruited due to the state’s smaller population and limited exposure on the national stage. With fewer scouts visiting the area and less access to high-profile camps or showcases, talented athletes can struggle to gain the attention they deserve. The perception that Montana lacks the level of competition seen in larger states like Texas or California also plays a role in diminishing opportunities. Many players and their families are unfamiliar with the recruiting process, which can make it harder to stand out. To combat this, Montana athletes must rely on self-promotion through platforms like Hudl and X. By creating standout highlight reels, and seeking out camps or tournaments that draw national attention, you can get recruited no problem. Building connections with coaches and utilizing local resources can also make a big difference in helping you players get noticed.
