Only 10% of the 1.5 million high school seniors get a chance to play football at the collegiate level.
Although Georgia is well-known for grooming high school football talent, thousands of football-playing seniors are left without scholarship offers due to a lack of exposure and/or resources. To that end, Alonzo Upshur and Phil Thomas created a platform to connect college football coaches to a pool of untapped talent.
For more than a decade, the Phi Kappa Kappa Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated and the Project Friendship Foundation have afforded eligible high school senior football players the opportunity to receive scholarship consideration through a program called the Metro Atlanta Football Recruitment Summit.
Over the 17 years of the Recruitment Summit, more than 200 students have received academic or athletic scholarship opportunities amounting to over $1.5 million. Over 30 NCAA Division II, III, NAIA, Junior College and Prep School programs have participated in the summit and have been impressed with the quality talent that we present at our events. The Football Recruitment Summit consistently connects senior athletes with the opportunity to continue the pursuit of their football dreams while advancing their academic studies.
