MADISON-  High school football coaches have a chance to assist their players even more than they already do in achieving a possible college scholarship or college placement in an upcoming event. James Clemens High is hosting its 2024 North Alabama Recruiting Expo on Jan. 17 from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. where high school football coaches can sit down face-to-face with college recruiters and promote their players in an attempt to help place their student-athletes in college.

As many as 30 colleges will be in attendance to meet with local high school football coaches representing up to 30 high school programs. The attending coaches can provide video of their recruitable players and meet with the recruiters where they can give additional information that many times can provide recruiters an inside look at possible student-athletes they would like to have in their programs.

Colleges representing FCS, D2, D3 and NAIA schools will have a chance to evaluate each player and their representative coach. The Expo is being hosted by Austin Burke, football recruiting director, strength coach and defensive line coach at James Clemens.
