The story

An 8th-grade tight end who used the Youth plan to build a profile before he ever played varsity.

Tyler Nguyen is a four-year success story in advance. He is an 8th grader — so he has not yet signed anywhere, and under COPPA his account is parent-consented and messaging-locked. But he has done something few middle-schoolers ever do: he started his recruiting profile before high school began.

Tyler's mother, Marisol, enrolled him in the Youth plan in January. Parental consent unlocked after one email click. The profile stays private — no coach can DM him until he ages into High School — but the film stays. The combine results from the Boise State regional camp in March are attached. His coach notes from three rotation coaches across the spring are saved.

By the time Tyler steps onto a varsity field as a 9th grader, he will have a year of verified film, verified measurables, and three months of coach feedback on file. Nothing he did had to be redone. The profile just ages up with him.

This is what the Youth plan was built for — not to manufacture urgency, but to let an 8th grader who loves football build the record of his own development.

I am not trying to get recruited yet. I just want my film to be there when I am.
