Answer
Dylan, hello!

You need to get people to take pictures of your skill. Put it on You Tube.  The scouts and coaches will seek you out.

Talk to all of the local high school coaches, the local high school football officials, the YMCA trainers, etc.  You can also contact the local sports people on radio, TV and newspapers.  They have connections to get your esposure started.

Send letters to colleges where you want to play.  Keep your studies up because the NCAA has minimum grades you have to meet or exceed.

Play with Leadership, enthusiasm and Honor.  You will be noticed.
