How feeder tiers work

Tiers are percentile rankings across every U.S. high school for a given sport and college division, measured over the last 5 years.

Elite

Top 2% of U.S. high schools in this sport and division.

Strong

Top 10% (excluding elite schools).

Rising

Top 25% (excluding elite and strong schools).

Emerging

At least one verified placement in the 5-year window.

Football is ranked separately for FBS (top-level D1) and FCS (D1-AA). Every other sport uses a single D1 tier. Tiers recompute weekly as new college roster data lands.
