2011 - 2015
Villanova University
The Athlete
Four years as a running back at Villanova. Three-time All-CAA selection. 3,167 career rushing yards, 2nd All-Time Rusher in Program History, behind Brian Westbrook. Kevin didn't just study the recruiting process. He lived it. He saw firsthand which athletes got opportunities and which the system left behind, and it had nothing to do with talent.
02
2015 - 2017
Philadelphia Eagles · Minnesota Vikings
The Professional
NFL practice squads taught Kevin the gap between college potential and professional readiness. He watched talented players fall through cracks in the system, not because they couldn't play, but because no one connected them to the right program at the right time.
03
2019 - 2020
New York Giants
The Coach
Coaching with the Giants gave Kevin the other side of the equation: what programs actually look for, how staffs evaluate talent, and why so many qualified athletes never show up on a coach's radar. The information asymmetry was staggering.
04
2021 - Present
JPMorgan Chase
The Builder
Kevin pivoted to Wall Street technology and rose to JPMorgan Chase Technology Executive. He learned to build systems that process complex data at scale, the exact skill set needed to solve the recruiting information gap he'd been watching for over a decade.

RawRecruit
The Founder
Everything converged. The athlete who understood the problem. The coach who saw it from the inside. The data professional who could build the solution. RawRecruit is the platform Kevin wished existed when he was seventeen, and the one he built so no family has to rely on luck again.
“The recruiting system is broken. Not because coaches don't care, but because the information gap between families and programs is massive.Kevin Monangai, Founder. Villanova Football Alum, Former NFL Running Back and NFL Coach.

Villanova Football Alum (3x All-CAA, 2nd All-Time Rusher behind Brian Westbrook). Former NFL Running Back (Eagles, Vikings) and Former NFL Coach (Giants). JPMorgan Chase Technology Executive.

The Mission
Close the information gap in college recruiting
Recruiting was built for the top 2 percent.
98 percent of high school athletes don't get a D-I offer, and the system never gave them the map.
We did. Across football, basketball, and track & field.
Data-Driven Matching
1,900+ programs with 135+ data points each. Five-dimensional Fit Scores so every athlete knows exactly where they belong.
Direct Coach Access
Coach emails, phone numbers, and social media. No middleman, no recruiting service gatekeeper.
Built for Families
Parents and athletes work together. The recruiting roadmap is a family decision, and the platform reflects that.
