On this week of PIttman's Pocket, Brian Pittman breaks down five incoming freshman we need to keep an eye!
On this week of PIttman’s Pocket, Brian Pittman takes a look at the top Canadian HIgh School prospects that HBCU football programs should target.

Last year, I vouched for HBCU football programs to broaden their recruiting landscape, by searching for prospects in Canada. Many laughed but, it has been a very innovative way for HBCUs to spread their landscape in recruiting, and can help schools land some amazing prospects. Canadian high school football prospects are not highly recruited in the states, and it helps the HBCUs broaden recruiting in Canada 🇨🇦. I am going to highlight my top 5 Canadian High School football prospects that should be targeted by HBCU schools.

Mateo Revert: 6’4 260 plays the center position and is a good prospect to bring into an HBCU program.

If HBCU schools can continue to find talented and big prospects, NFL teams will continue to pick up players from their schools. By adding Canadian prospects it will add more opportunities for your players because it will force CFL, as well as NFL scouts to come through. This could end up getting other players on the roster at the HBCU level to land a shot in Canada or even the NFL to play professionally.

Last year, NFL teams flocked to HBCUs camps by the numbers with over 10 to 15 NFL scouts and showed up heavy to the HBCU Combine. With the XFL coming into play in 2023, and the USFL allowing over 50 players to get a shot in the NFL, it continues to give HBCU prospects more looks. Sometimes you have to be an out-of-the-box thinker, and this is a way to give HBCU schools another way to get their players opportunities.
