The College Bus TOUR is ideal for football athletes in the classes of 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, and 2030. You’ll attend college camps and work out in front of college coaches — all in one unforgettable experience. This College Bus TOUR only happens once a year, every June.
Looking to take your football career to the next level? Don’t miss the premier recruiting event of the year. This exclusive opportunity is designed for high school football athletes ready to showcase their talent in front of respected Division 1 college coaches.
At the College TOUR, you’ll meet coaches, speak with them directly, and TOUR top-tier college facilities. It’s your chance to make a strong impression and get on the radar of some of the best football programs in the country.
Compete alongside top athletes from across the nation while sharpening your skills, technique, and fundamentals with elite coaching. The College TOUR is powered by Quarterback Magazine and is open to all positions — QB, WR, RB, TE, OL, DL, LB, DB, and ATH.
The College Bus TOUR is open to all football athletes in 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grade, as well as junior college (JUCO) players — which includes the classes of 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, and 2030. It is open to all football positions, including QB, WR, RB, TE, OL, DL, LB, DB, and ATH.
Because the trip takes place in June, you’ll be considered one grade level higher for camp purposes. For example, if you are currently in 8th grade, you’ll be considered a 9th grader by the time of the camps.

In addition to the athletes, parents are welcome to come on to the TOUR as guests.
Imagine visiting the nations’ top collegiate football stadiums, the Bryant-Denny Stadium at the University of Alabama or seeing the Big House at the University of Michigan. As you stare at the magnificent stadium, you get nothing, but chills with all the history that has gone through; and you’re finally there, to showcase your skills, and to prove your worth to the college coaching staff.
You get to meet the coaches, the staff, future stars on campus, visit the bookstore, dining room, locker room, and much more! This is the ultimate collegiate summer recruiting trip for any high school prospects.
College camp schedules are typically released in March or April. Once they’re available, we’ll organize a 4–5 day TOUR visiting 4–5 Division 1 universities. Athletes should keep June 1–16 open.
Seating is limited, and there’s a cap on the number of athletes and parents. To secure your spot, apply early and begin monthly deposits, as tuition will increase.
JULY 2025 to APRIL 2026
The TOUR plans to visit Division 1 football universities on the Southeastern, Mid Atlantic, Eastern, and Midwest sides of the US to increase our chances of attending top programs within a week. We are focusing our visits on universities in these regions to make the most of our time.
The routes will be finalized by April, and our biggest challenge is syncing up a perfect route to visit as many top universities as possible. We are eagerly awaiting responses from college coaches, but note that their busy obligations after football season may cause delays in route announcements.
College coaches begin scouting rising recruits as early as their freshman year. Waiting until junior year to get started can put you at a disadvantage. Starting early and being prepared with a personal website and strong social media presence is key. Our College Bus TOUR is unlike any other in the country. We prioritize academics and equip athletes with the tools to become recruitable when the time comes.
Parents, we recommend starting your son’s “College Football Portfolio” as early as possible. From websites to Hudl to social media, these are all essential elements. Our College Bus TOUR provides an opportunity for your son to gain an advantage in the recruitment process. This is not a vacation, but an educational, leadership-based football experience
Please ONLY apply to this TOUR if you are SERIOUS and available in the month of June 2026.

Hello@QuarterbackMagazine.com

There are over 267 Division 1 college football programs in the U.S., and our goal is to select the best available college camps within each region. This is what makes the TOUR so valuable.
