Why Linemate Exists

The Recruiting Ecosystem Is Broken

Straight from NCAA coaches — the current process is fragmented, opaque, and frustrating for everyone involved.

"We have trouble tracking where players are at each showcase. There's no central place to see who's playing where."

— NCAA DI Coach

"I want to look up a player and know exactly where they play, what they did last season, and how to reach them."

— NCAA DIII Coach

"Finding accurate contact info for players and families is nearly impossible. Emails bounce, numbers change."

— NCAA DII Coach
