Shorter University Men's Soccer Recruiting

Start with Roberto Hernandez, the head coach. The men's staff is small, with one assistant coach and one staff alongside the head coach, so the head coach almost certainly reads recruiting mail personally. Copy the assistants so the whole staff sees the same message.

As general context, NCAA Division II programs may offer athletic scholarships, usually as partial awards split across the roster, and many D2 staffs keep recruiting actively through a player's senior year. Shorter University 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.

Shorter University is a private small school on an urban campus with about 1,028 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 96 percent, and the middle SAT range is 1040 to 1200, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
