Former NFL Player on What He Should Have Known

Apr 3, 2025

Hey, Cam Smith here, former USC captain and 2019 Minnesota Vikings draft pick. Looking back at my high school recruiting days, I had the talent, but I didn’t have the guidance. I had to figure it all out myself. 

Does that sound familiar? 

Pylon played a pivotal role not only in the development of my game but also in my recruiting process. It gave me the platform to compete against the best, hone my skills in the off-season, and get real exposure to college coaches. It wasn’t just about showcasing talent. It was about becoming visible to the right people.

Your Roadmap to Recruiting Success

Over the next two weeks, I’ll be sharing valuable insights to help you take your recruiting journey to the next level. Here's what’s coming:

  • Navigating the Recruiting Process: I’ll share how to stand out and get noticed by the right coaches.

  • Maximizing the Off-Season: What you can do now to improve and get ready to be your best when it counts.

  • Becoming a Complete Athlete: How to show you’re more than just a one-dimensional player.

  • Parent Insights: My dad will share his first-hand experience guiding me through the recruiting process and what he learned along the way.

Why Pylon is a Game-Changer for You

Pylon tournaments were a game-changer for me. These events weren’t just fun, they gave me real exposure to college coaches and allowed me to show that I was a well-rounded player. Someone who wasn’t afraid to work on areas of my game and keep improving.

  • Perfect Your Craft: Pylon gives you the chance to show coaches that you're more than just a jersey number, you’re a complete athlete, committed to improving every aspect of your game.

  • Competitive Edge: The level of competition at Pylon tournaments will push you to improve and compete against the best, just like it did for me.


  • Stand Out: This is the platform where athletes truly get recognized. Pylon helps you showcase your talent and ensures you’re noticed by the right people.

What’s Next?

Looking back, I wish I had a platform to showcase my progress, keep myself visible to coaches, and even educate me on what I could do better. Not in a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all way, but with something individually focused on who I am and what I need. Something that wasn’t already out there... Something that actually works. A platform that’s not only valuable to athletes but also to parents. The recruiting process can be intimidating, and it truly requires all hands on deck
