Blackburn College Men's Soccer Recruiting

Start with Josh Oswald, the head coach. Blackburn College carries a larger men's soccer staff, with 2 assistant coaches and one goalkeeper coach listed beside the head coach. On staffs this size recruiting is usually split, so address the head coach and include the assistant most likely to run recruiting.

As general context, NCAA Division III schools do not award athletic scholarships. Aid at D3 schools comes through academic merit and need based packages, and D3 coaches often recruit later in the cycle than D1 programs. Blackburn College ranks in the lower part of its division by Massey rank, so a prepared recruit who follows up is more likely to get a direct look than at a top ranked program.

Blackburn College is a private small school in a college town with about 471 undergraduates. On a campus this size the men's soccer staff usually knows the admissions office well, so academic fit comes up early in the conversation. The acceptance rate is 63 percent, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
