About
About College Pathway Sports
We are former athletes, coaches, and recruiting experts on a mission to level the playing field for every high school athlete who dreams of competing at the next level.
Our Story
Built by Athletes, for Athletes
College Pathway Sports was founded by former college athletes who lived the recruiting process firsthand — and saw how broken it was. Too many talented athletes were being overlooked not because they lacked ability, but because they lacked visibility.
We built CPS to change that. Through strategic media content, digital branding, and direct outreach to college programs, we help athletes get in front of the coaches who matter — at the right time, with the right message.
We've helped athletes across the country earn opportunities at programs ranging from Division I powerhouses to Division III gems. Every athlete's path is different — and we treat it that way.

Athlete First
Every decision we make starts with what is best for the athlete — not the school, not the sport, not the system.
Radical Transparency
We tell you exactly where you stand, what coaches are saying, and what steps to take next. No smoke and mirrors.
Relentless Execution
We outwork the competition on behalf of every athlete we represent. Your dreams deserve our full effort.
