Parents, athletes, coaches — if you’re serious about D1 football, you must know the calendar. It’s not just about when you get offered — it’s when you can be seen, when coaches can contact you, and when you have to stay in your lane. Here’s the break-down: • Dead Period – no in-person recruiting contacts or evaluations can happen (on or off campus) during this window. • Quiet Period – coaches can only make in-person contacts on their campus. They can’t visit you off-campus. • Evaluation Period – coaches can evaluate you off-campus (see your games/practices) but they cannot make in-person recruiting contact off-campus. • Contact Period – the golden window: coaches can make in-person off-campus contacts and evaluations. This is when you should be visible.
