"Our family had used other recruiting companies with our older daughter. We went to them first and then after our interview with BT it was clear he was the council we believed would benefit CJ the most. It was a long tedious, up and down process, but BT was there every step of the way with great experience and advice. In the end, CJ received the opportunity he wanted and we are very thankful for the role BT played in guiding the process"

-Chris Lee, Parent .. CJ Lee QB San Jose State Football

"In one of the most uncertain and emotionally challenging seasons of our lives, BT stepped in and became more than just a mentor—he became a lifeline. At a time when clarity was hard to come by and opportunities felt scarce, BT helped Alan Cordano not only stay focused on his dream but achieve it. Navigating the college football recruiting process is tough even in the best of times, but BT’s unwavering support, deep knowledge of the game, and relentless commitment made all the difference. He didn't just help Alan find a school—he helped him find the right fit. A program where Alan could grow as both an athlete and a young man. BT understood Alan’s potential and worked tirelessly to ensure the right coaches saw it too. From film breakdowns to late-night calls, personal outreach to guidance through every step of the process, BT was a steady presence and fierce advocate. His belief in Alan never wavered, even when the road got rough. Thanks to BT, Alan is stepping into a program that believes in him, develops him, and sets him up for success on and off the field. We're forever grateful for BT’s heart, hustle, and vision. He didn’t just help Alan get to college—he helped him land exactly where he was meant to be. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, delivers results, and changes lives, BT is that person" — The Cordano Family, Alan Cordano ’25 Hawaii Football

'BT Thompson has helped me so much throughout my recruitment process. He’s gotten me connected to so many different schools I wouldn’t have even thought possible. And not only does he do so much work for his athletes he does it on your time. He gets in contact with the schools you want, and more. Without BTs recruiting help, I’m not sure if I would have had the chance to play for my home town team at THE University of Nevada!!"🐺 -Trace Estes, UNR Football
