Platform Sports gave me the confidence and clarity to take this step in my career. Joining the University of Kentucky’s tennis program is a dream come true, and I’m ready for the challenge.

Jack Loutit

Platform has not only guided me through getting offers but also the application, sorting my visas, and everything that comes with it. He made the college process as easy as it could be, which meant I could focus on my schooling as well as training and performing to my best on the rugby field.

Orlando Casey

Davenport University, NCAA Division 2 Rugby

Platform Sports was very helpful and made me comfortable in my college recruiting process. Honesty was the top thing I got with Platform. I knew that with every move made, there was a sense of purpose, and they had my best interest at heart.
