Tufts University Men's Soccer Recruiting

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

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. For a program ranked where Tufts University sits, expect the staff to be evaluating early and hearing from many players, so lead with your strongest verifiable results and a short highlight link.

Tufts University is a private mid sized school on a suburban campus with about 7,061 undergraduates. At a mid sized school the men's soccer staff typically works with admissions but does not control it, so have your transcript ready when a coach asks. The acceptance rate is 12 percent, and the middle SAT range is 1470 to 1560, so include your grades and any test scores in the first message.
