NFL Veteran Cecil Martin Presents College Recruiting Simplified on April 12

Niles North High School has partnered with the National Collegiate Scouting Association (NCSA) to provide a free seminar on the college recruiting process for athletes. Cecil Martin, a former National Football League veteran with the Philadelphia Eagles, will present “College Recruiting Simplified” at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 12 in the Niles North High School Auditorium at 9800 Lawler, Skokie.

All athletes who are interested in participating in college athletics, no matter what grade level or sport, are encouraged to attend the “College Recruiting Simplified” presentation with their parents to learn:  the benefits of playing collegiate sports; strategies on how to maximize recruiting potential; timelines for college recruiting; and the five things every potential college recruit must do to get recruited. Only five percent of high school athletes get the opportunity to play sports in college. Martin, the Captain of a Rose Bowl Championship-winning Wisconsin team and an Evanston High School graduate, will guide parents and student athletes through the importance of establishing athletic and academic goals, setting realistic expectations and seeking opportunities at all college levels.

The hour-long presentation is free to all high school athletes and their parents.
