NIL rankings for new recruits

[Esti Race]

I’m curious about how school NIL rankings affect recruiting. Do high school kids actually look at these leaderboards to see which fans are most active? If I want to help my school attract better talent, should I be focusing on these rankings? Where can I see which schools are currently the most “on fire” for recruits?

Recruits are absolutely watching these numbers because it shows them exactly how much the community will support them if they commit. A high ranking on https://rallyfuel.com/schools is basically a signal to every 4-star and 5-star recruit that the fanbase is ready to “fuel” their career. I’ve seen recruits mention these kinds of leaderboards in interviews because it’s a tangible measure of fan love.

If a school has 500+ “Fan Power” points like Ohio State, that’s a huge selling point compared to a school with only 50. I always try to stay active on the platform during signing day to make sure our numbers look good. It’s one of the few ways we as fans can actually impact recruiting in a legal and transparent way. When you see your school climbing the ranks, you know you’re helping build a better future for the program. It’s definitely worth keeping an eye on if you care about where the next generation of stars will land.
