Parents say it best

“He understood that to get into one of these amazing universities, you have to work hard for it. … The coaching staff was excellent. They gave him confidence in himself and his game. … I will definitely recommend [THE TOUR]. They see through their own eyes what they are capable of achieving.”
Paloma Fimbres, mom of Juan Ignacio “Juani” Mendoza, Class of 2028, Vincent Memorial Catholic HS
“I took a week off work, and it was the most amazing trip. I got to spend real time with my son, riding the bus together and walking through D1 college facilities. … We’re going every year for as long as we can.”
Mr. Wilson, TOUR dad, 2026

Players say it too

“The QB Mag TOUR was a GREAT experience. I was able to meet some great D1 college coaches and learn a lot from the private TOURs. I exchanged contacts with the coaches, and a few even followed me on Twitter after the camps. I highly recommend The TOUR not just to QBs, but to players at other positions as well.”

“The QB Mag TOUR was a great experience. I was able to showcase my abilities in front of many college coaches, which led to great conversations and networking. We exchanged Twitter handles, and I got to show college coaches what I can do on and off the field. Truly a great opportunity. This was my second time on the TOUR!”
Elijah QuinonezQB · THE TOUR Athlete
“The TOUR was a great experience for me. At first, I wasn’t sure how I’d do going up against defensive backs I’d never seen before. But by the end of the first camp, I knew this trip was going to be a learning experience. TOUR members, TOUR coaches, college players and college coaches all taught me something of value. After the Clemson camp, Dabo Swinney told us that greatness is your decision, not your destiny. The TOUR isn’t just a bus driving from college to college. It’s an experience that will help you grow as a player and as a person.”
Gavin MatinpourTHE TOUR Athlete
“The TOUR was a great experience, and this was my second time on the TOUR as a TE. We visited a lot more schools this year and toured them as well. It was great to see the different levels of schools, like Wabash College and Ball State University. I met a lot of great new friends and connected with new college coaches for my recruiting journey.”

“The TOUR was an extremely fun experience. The bus rides, the hotels and the campus tours were all really fun. It was great to tour some of the different states in the East and meet the coaching staff.”
Lakin WiseTE · THE TOUR Athlete
“The TOUR was a great experience. My favorite was Purdue University, by far the best camp I’ve ever been to, and their facility was state of the art. The coaches were extremely cool and humble. I made new friends, and I’m excited to watch them grow and follow their journeys. The TOUR isn’t just about the camps. It’s about brotherhood and taking a week to work and bond with each other.”
Robert SpryTHE TOUR Athlete
“I really enjoyed going on the QB Mag TOUR this year. I had the opportunity to build relationships with college coaches and be seen by hundreds of coaches in just one week. It was a very valuable experience that I don’t take for granted. These are times I will never forget. Mr. Woo is the GOAT!”

“I thought it was a great experience to work in some of the biggest stadiums in the country. It was cool to get to know kids with similar interests.”
Trey ArnoldTHE TOUR Athlete
“The QB Mag TOUR was great for the competition at the college camps. You’re coached by the college coaches themselves, and you learn a lot. I loved seeing the D1, D2 and D3 levels of college football. Each one is unique in its own way. The TOUR was a great opportunity to see what it’s like to live, play and sleep in a college football environment, and it really opened my eyes.”

“I think [THE TOUR] is great for getting your name out there, meeting new people and meeting coaches at different schools. You learn from each other, and you learn so much from every school. It’s a great experience, and I recommend it for anyone!”
Parker SchmitzQB · THE TOUR Athlete
“The QB Mag TOUR was one of the best football experiences I’ve had. Visiting UNC, Wake Forest, Charlotte, Clemson and South Carolina gave me a real look at what college football is all about. Walking through those schools made my goals feel more real. Even though I was one of the younger quarterbacks on the trip, I still got so much support. The TOUR gives you motivation and memories you’ll carry with you long after the trip is over.”
Ayden CouszinsQB · THE TOUR Athlete
“The TOUR isn’t just for QBs. It’s for all positions. I had a great time on the TOUR and met a lot of new friends from all over the country. I got to sit down with college coaches and ask them questions. I learned new things about college football and gained a lot of exposure for my recruiting. The TOUR got me one step closer to the college level. 100% recommend it for everyone next year!”

Ryker RohaleyTHE TOUR Athlete
“This was my second time on the TOUR, and I had a great experience once again. It was great to see different schools from last year and to be around like-minded athletes who have the same goals as you. I’m excited to follow their journeys and stay in touch with them.”
Donavon SpryTHE TOUR Athlete
“I enjoyed the TOUR. It was a beautiful experience. I got to meet face to face with different coaches and was able to talk with all of them. I made friends with everyone there. The best part was the team bonding, when we all sat down for meetings or had dinner together. To someone who’s never been or heard of the TOUR, I would 100% recommend it for the overall experience and the connections you’ll make.”
Jonathan CastellonTHE TOUR Athlete
“The TOUR was very eye-opening. I had the opportunity to meet others from all across the country who share one common love for the sport of football. I enjoyed every day with the team as the chemistry kept growing. I loved the camps and the meetings with the coaches. Coach Brooks would motivate us to a different level. If you’ve never been, know that it’s important to build that chemistry around you, because iron sharpens iron.”
Makisig WilsonTHE TOUR Athlete
“I had so much fun on the TOUR. I miss it so much, I wish I could go back already. Some of my favorite moments were meeting all the new people and getting close with them. I also loved going to all the camps and showing off my skills in front of the college coaches. I recommend The TOUR to all positions. It’s a great way to meet lots of people and learn great social skills.”

“The QB Mag TOUR was an AMAZING experience. I was able to meet many coaches and tour all those amazing schools. I had so much fun, I wish I could go back right now. I highly recommend The TOUR for every position, not just QBs. I hope to be back on the QB Mag TOUR next year.”
Ace MartinezQB · THE TOUR Athlete
“The TOUR was fun. I got to meet new people and make new friends and memories together, and I got better and better at each camp. My favorite memories were on the bus with Woo. If you’ve never been on the TOUR, don’t be scared. It’s lit!”
Daniel MontijoTHE TOUR Athlete
“The TOUR was an incredible experience that I will never forget. I built friendships with athletes from all across the country, and being surrounded by so many talented, driven people pushed me to grow. The exposure I gained will forever impact my recruiting journey. The chalk talks helped me better understand the game and improved my confidence. Most importantly, I’m extremely grateful for all of the coaches who invested their time and energy into us.”
Elijah JuarezTHE TOUR Athlete
“The TOUR was a great opportunity for me to showcase my talent in front of college coaches, meet people and create new bonds. Overall, the TOUR was awesome and I would do it again next year. My advice for someone going on the TOUR: be ready for the early wake-up calls and be mentally prepared for camps.”
Ashton McGinleyTHE TOUR Athlete
“The TOUR was a great experience, and I had a lot of fun throughout the entire trip. I met a lot of new people and got to see what football looks like at the highest levels. My favorite part was the Wake Forest camp. I truly appreciate Coach Brooks for helping me with the mental side of the game, and Coach Dillon for showing me some great concepts. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience.”
Andres MayesTHE TOUR Athlete
“Going on the TOUR was an amazing experience that I’ll never forget. Spending a week visiting different colleges showed me what college athletics is really like and helped me get recognized by coaches. One of my favorite parts was the friendships I made along the way. For anyone who has never been on the TOUR, I would highly recommend it. It’s much more than just sports. It’s an experience that helps you grow as an athlete and as a person.”
Connor NguyenTHE TOUR Athlete
“The TOUR makes you feel ready for the next level. It’s almost like being a college athlete, traveling to different hotels and colleges. Some of my favorite moments were when Miles shined at Wake Forest, hanging out at the hotel after camps, and being at UNC because it was my first college camp. It’s a great experience on and off the field, because you’re matched up with people older and more mature than you that you can learn from.”
Mekhi KennedyTHE TOUR Athlete

“The TOUR was a great experience for me and everyone who attended. We not only took part in the camps, we also got private tours of some of the schools. We really had a first-class experience. Louisville quarterback Jack Plummer gave us a great tour of the Louisville facilities, and the kids really enjoyed that. The TOUR was really well organized and a lot of fun. I had a great time!”
Coach GioTHE TOUR Coach
“The QB Mag TOUR was an experience I’ll never forget. I soaked in every moment at each university, knowing there’s a good chance I may never return to some of them.
