Football with Abu Turay

I’m a dedicated coach, mentor and community advocate specialized in football scouting and recruiting with over 5 years of experience supporting NCAA Division I programs, including Coastal Carolina, Georgia Tech, and Northwestern. My journey in college athletics has centered around talent identification, relationship building, and executing recruiting strategies that help student-athletes thrive on and off the field. Throughout my career, I’ve worked directly with coaches and staff to evaluate high school, junior college, and transfer portal prospects, maintain national recruiting databases, coordinate visits and camps, and manage communication strategies that keep our programs competitive. I’m proud to have contributed to Coastal Carolina’s #1 ranked Sun Belt Conference recruiting classes in 2023 and 2024, Signing junior college transfer Clev Lubin who became a 1st-team All-Sun Belt selection , signing 10 of the top 20 high-school recruits in program history, and to having 5 former interns working in college football or NFL. What drives me most is the chance to positively impact young people and their families—helping athletes navigate the recruiting process, reach their goals, and find the right fit both academically and athletically. Whether behind the scenes coordinating events and travel, building relationships, or breaking down game film to identify emerging talent, I approach each role with dedication, attention to detail, and a commitment to excellence. Outside of football, I hold a B.S. in Sport Administration from the University of Cincinnati, a minor in Business Administration, and earned a Football GM & Scouting certification mentored by NFL executives. I’m also a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. I have a strong passion for developing student-athletes, mentoring young people, and uplifting the community.
