I can’t thank NextUpRecruitment enough. They have been super reassuring/supportive and have made the whole recruitment process way less stressful. Me being able to play in the States next year probably wouldn’t have been a possibility without their help.

Grateful to NextUpRecruitment …

As a family this is an overwhelming experience with so much information to take in. From the first initial call with Ryan we felt at ease and trusted that NextUpRecruitment was the best fit to support us on this journey. Ryan has been extremely supportive and responsive to any questions. Ryan has shown his commitment in finding our daughter the best international scholarship that will develop and progress her career. We can’t thank Ryan at NextUpRecruitment enough for guiding us through this journey.

Invaluable Recruitment Guidance

As someone who's been in the student-athlete's shoes, Ryan really knows his stuff regarding the college recruitment process. Drawing on his own experiences, he can provide personalized support and guidance. Ryan has an amazing knack for linking athletes with the perfect college programs - his connections and industry know-how are second to none. I can't recommend working with Ryan and the NextUpRecruitment team enough!

Worst experience

Worse service I’ve ever signed up to. There was 0 transparency at the start of the process and took my money knowing that the offers I was looking for were not realistic. Throughout a year and a few months with nextup I never once spoke to a coach, I was never even asked what subject i wanted to study (to find suitable offers with these academic programs). AVOID unless you have a minimum of 5-7k to spend (which I wasn’t told until after I payed the full amount). Waste of money.

Nextuprecruitment significantly boosted my exposure, turning limited visibility into valuable opportunities by effectively showcasing my talents to coaches. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking to enhance their athletic profile.

Ryan is the best in the business

Ryan is the best in the business. Even throughout the hardships I have faced during my college journey, he has still managed to put me in the face of elite college programs and be able to communicate/receive offers from programs I did not even know I was capable of even being in contact with. Would highly recommend this service; however this does not mean it is a guaranteed scholarship. But best know Ryan will do his absolute best on his side to make sure you are well advertised and also guide you through the whole recruitment process.

Ryan worked his ass off for me

Ryan worked his ass off for me. Some things came up after already committing to a college and we needed to find a new one to transfer to and he somehow managed to get me a few offers in very little turn around.

I’ve been with NextUpRecruitment for a few months and it’s been a really good experience. Everything they presented they have lived up to and provide me with all the help and support i need. I was quickly connected with many coaches so i was able to explore different options before committing to a program. I would definitely recommend!
