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.
