College Scouts are on the ground in North Texas.

Nicholas and the staff at NSR are dedicated to finding scholarship opportunities for athletes in North Texas that possess the talent, desire, and motivation to compete at the collegiate level. We provide athletic evaluations, academic guidance, and an in-depth education on the recruiting process. Upon successful evaluation and qualification into our program, National Scouting Report will provide the appropriate link between the student athlete and over 2,000 colleges and universities across the country.

NSR prides itself on having scouts on the ground across the country and around the world, checking out our prospects firsthand and making sure they are the quality athletes that we are proud to represent. If you see an NSR scout at your next event, be sure to ask them any questions you may have about college recruiting, and how NSR can help secure the futures of young athletes.


Parents, where are you in the recruiting process?

If you are a high school student athlete competing in any of the 32 men or women's NCAA sanctioned sports and want to continue playing at the college level, contact Nicholas today for a personal interview and evaluation. Call (469) 920-4366 or email npento@nsr-inc.com to discuss the options.
