The Scouting Academy has been designed to build a foundational knowledge of the game of football as it relates to evaluation of personnel.  Scouting with context is the key to successful evaluation.  Our philosophy values scouts who have a coaching background as they possess the ability to differentiate between prospects using the context of scheme. Currently, there is not standardized background or training system to enter scouting. The Scouting Academy will create a fundamental understanding of the techniques, schematics, and overall principles of each individual position—focusing mainly on physical evaluation.  We will accomplish this with a rich curriculum facilitated by former NFL coaches and well as current and former NFL executives. Our objective for the Academy is to provide a foundation for students to propel themselves into scouting positions within the NFL, NCAA, and major media outlets.
