Our Mission
We help high school football players & their families embrace the unknown of the recruiting process so athletes can maximize their potential and confidently choose their dream school.
True Potential Athletic Recruiting is different from the other recruiting services out there because it is entirely tailored to your needs. With every interaction, the feedback you receive is focused on your specific situation, not just a general answer that applies to every recruit. TPAR is also ran by someone who went through this process not just once, but twice within the last 10 years and can relate to the challenges that modern athletes face.
About me
Ben Schmiesing
HEAD RECRUITING CONSULTANT
In high school, I wasn't a flashy 4 or 5 star recruit that had offers rolling in left or right. I was recruited by FCS and low-level FBS programs. What I realize now is that neither me, nor my family, had any idea what we were doing in the recruiting process and missed out on a lot of potential scholarship opportunities.
​
After getting a Preferred Walk-On offer from Ohio State and playing there for 3 years, then grad transferring to the University of Dayton, I got to go through the recruiting process a second time.
​
Looking back, I know for a fact that I made mistakes all throughout my recruitment, and I see those same mistakes being made by high school athletes every single day. I want to help athletes avoid making these mistakes so they can maximize their true potential and get the scholarships they deserve.
