Built by people who have been the recruit.

Pathley was started by former college athletes who are also recruiting experts. We built the help we wish our own families had: an honest read on where you fit, which teams have room at your position, and exactly how to get recruited.

Why Pathley exists

Most families spend two years guessing. They guess which schools are realistic, which programs need their position, and what to say to a coach. The help on offer usually means a sales call, a subscription or a login full of generic advice. We built Pathley to replace the guessing with answers you can act on.

The founders of Pathley
Who is behind it

We know recruiting from both sides.

Our founders have been the athlete waiting on a reply and the expert who knows why the reply never came. Pathley is built from both.

Former college athletes

We have been the recruit.

Our founders played college sports, so they know how it feels from the inside. They sent emails that never got an answer, picked camps without knowing which coaches would be there, and tried to work out where they actually stood. That experience is why Pathley is built around the questions athletes really ask.

Recruiting experts

We know how the other side works.

Our founders are also recruiting experts. They understand how staffs build a roster, when coaches start looking at a class, and what makes a coach open one email and skip the next. That knowledge shapes every fit score, roster read and coach email Pathley produces.

How rosters fillWhen coaches lookWhat gets a reply

Pathley is the help we wish our own families had when we were being recruited. Clear, honest and affordable.

That is also why an expert on our team checks every plan before it reaches you.
What we believe

Six rules we build by.

These came from living recruiting as athletes and working in it as experts. Every tool and every plan has to pass all six.

01

Honest over hopeful

We tell you where you realistically fit, including when a school is a reach. Roster openings are always shown as a projection, never a promise.

02

Open by default

College and team data is free to browse, and the free tools work without an account. You should not have to pay to learn what is possible.

03

An expert checks every plan

Our system builds it and a recruiting expert on the Pathley team reviews every section before it reaches your inbox. If anything is wrong, we fix it.

04

Pay once, keep it

No subscriptions, no contracts and no sales calls. Every product is a one-time payment, and the plan is yours to keep.

05

Built for one athlete

Your sport, position, level, grades, location and budget shape the plan. Two teammates get two different plans.

06

Your budget goes to recruiting

Money you do not spend on fees can go where it counts, which is the camps your coaches attend, travel and good video.

How a plan gets made

The system builds it. An expert checks it.

Every paid plan starts with a five-minute chat with Pathley AI about your sport, position, grades and budget. Our system builds the plan from current rosters and federal cost and admissions data. Then a recruiting expert reads every section before it is sent.

  • Rosters are pulled fresh for every build, so the read reflects the team as it stands.
  • Coach contacts are verified before an email is written to them.
  • Plans arrive within 24 hours, and if something is off we revise it.
