College & Athletic Recruiting Counselor

We are Texas Sports Academy, a fast-growing micro-school that blends rigorous academics with elite athletic development. We are looking for a College Advisor who will own the college pathway for our high school student-athletes from the first conversation about target schools all the way through signed acceptance letters.

What You'll Do

• Own the College Roadmap: Build a personalized college plan for every high school student in the program. Map target, reach, and likely schools based on academics, sport, and family fit. Update the plan every semester as grades, test scores, and athletic offers change.
• Guard NCAA Eligibility: Track every student's NCAA Eligibility Center status from 9th grade forward. Audit core course requirements, GPA on the NCAA sliding scale, test score timing, amateurism certification, and registration deadlines. Catch problems years before they become problems.
• Coach the Essays and the Story: Sit with students on personal statements, supplemental essays, and athletic resumes. Help them tell their actual story instead of the one they think colleges want to hear. Edit, push back, and re-edit until the writing sounds like them.
• Quarterback the Recruiting Side: Coordinate with Texas Sports Academy coaches and outside club coaches on athletic recruiting timelines. Help families understand the difference between D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and JUCO pathways. Translate scholarship offers and letters of intent into plain English for parents.
• Run Family Meetings: Hold structured check-ins with each student-athlete and their parents at minimum once per quarter. Walk them through where their kid stands, what's coming up, and what they need to do next. Send recap notes after every meeting.
• Prep Students for Tests and Visits: Build a testing plan for SAT/ACT including registration dates, prep resources, and retake strategy. Coordinate official and unofficial campus visits. Prep students on what to ask coaches and admissions officers.
