Football Recruiting Calendar

Recruiting runs on a calendar — knowing the windows is half the battle. Contact, dead, and open periods broken down by division and association below.

Dates sourced from the official NCAA recruiting calendar and each association's published rules. Levels without formal periods (D3, NAIA, JUCO) recruit year-round. Always verify a specific date with the NCAA, the association, or the program before acting.
