About Next Level Sports
We don’t just promote athletes.
We build complete recruiting paths.
Next Level Sports helps high school athletes earn college offers through real strategy, professional exposure, and direct coach connections — at a price that actually makes sense.
Built by athletes who lived the broken system.
Next Level Sports was started in late 2022 by Jake Sayers after going through the recruiting process himself. Like many athletes, Jake paid for a big-name recruiting service and got almost nothing in return.
Frustrated and determined to do better for the next generation, Jake created an affordable, no-BS alternative focused on real strategy — not just exposure or empty promises.
One of the very first athletes to join was Gabe Anderson. Gabe went from unsigned to earning a college offer and committing to IU-Northwest. He later joined NLS as a minority owner after seeing the impact firsthand.
What actually moves the needle in recruiting.
Real Recruiting Strategy
Step-by-step plans, realistic school targeting, timeline outreach, and adjustments — not generic advice.
Purposeful Exposure
Platform-specific content (X for coaches, IG for brand), correct tagging, and consistent posting that actually gets seen.
Player Development
Position-specific skill work, strength & speed programming, and film feedback alongside exposure.
Direct Coach Connections
Personalized outreach, follow-up systems, and relationship building. Offers come from conversations.
Real numbers from real athletes in 2026.
Former college athletes who actually got it done.
Former college basketball player at The King’s College (NYC). Went through the broken recruiting system during COVID and got almost no help from the service he paid for.
Obsessed with building systems that actually work for regular high school athletes. Now runs NLS full-time and also works as an athlete agent specializing in NIL deals.
First athlete to sign up with Next Level Sports. Went from unsigned to earning a college offer and committing to IU-Northwest.
After seeing the results, Gabe partnered with Jake on an NIL deal and later became a minority owner. He continues to play college basketball while helping run NLS and shape the athlete experience.
