It just eased the process for me and it was a big help."

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I enter the Football Transfer Portal?
The specific transfer windows vary based on NCAA regulations. For college Football players, entering the portal after the academic year or fall semester often works best. This aligns with the Football season’s natural break. You can enter the portal after your season concludes, but you need to check with your current program and the NCAA for exact dates.
What types of programs use PAC-Hub to recruit football players?
PAC-Hub is used by a range of programs, from D1 to community colleges, allowing you to connect with coaches at every level looking for specific football skills and positions.
Will I lose eligibility if I transfer?
Eligibility depends on several factors, including previous transfers and academic standing. Football players can use the NCAA one-time transfer exception to avoid sitting out a year. This exception applies only if it’s the player’s first transfer and academic requirements are met. International football players should also check NCAA rules specific to international transfers, as eligibility requirements may differ. Some athletes may need to sit out for a year, while others may be eligible to play immediately.
How do I get noticed by coaches through PAC-Hub?
Once you create a detailed profile with your stats, highlight videos, and other important information, coaches can search for players based on their recruiting needs. Coaches on PAC-Hub also have access to verified performance stats. This helps them make informed recruitment decisions. Be sure to include specific stats relevant to your position, like goals, assists, or clean sheets for goalkeepers. Keep your profile up-to-date for the best chances.
What football-specific stats should I include in my profile?
Football coaches often look for key stats that match their recruiting needs for each position. For instance, quarterbacks should include passing yards, completion rates, and touchdowns. Defensive players can highlight tackles, sacks, and interceptions. Kickers might want to emphasize field goal percentages and distance. Include stats relevant to your position to maximize your visibility.
Are there recommended highlight videos to include?
Yes, including position-specific highlight reels is highly recommended. For example, quarterbacks can include clips showcasing throwing accuracy and decision-making under pressure. Linemen should highlight blocks, tackles, and footwork. Defensive backs could show coverage skills, while kickers should include successful long-range field goals. Position-specific footage helps coaches assess your performance in real-game scenarios.
What’s the difference between transferring in the off-season versus mid-season?
For Football players, transferring in the off-season often allows more time to integrate into the new team, train, and understand the coach’s tactics. Mid-season transfers may have limited playing time or require NCAA waivers to become eligible immediately, depending on your previous program and academic standing.
