The college football recruiting journey is far more complicated than most families realize.

On this episode of Fighting For Overtime, host Tony Cutillo sits down with Tonja Pacheco, the creator of Football Mom 2027, to break down the real work behind getting athletes noticed.

After losing her husband and raising five children, Tonja turned her focus toward helping her son chase his dream of playing Division I football. Along the way, she discovered just how confusing, expensive, and often misleading the recruiting landscape can be for parents and athletes.

Through her platform Football Mom 2027, Tonja now shares the lessons she learned navigating the process—from social media strategy and exposure to avoiding recruiting scams and understanding how college coaches actually evaluate prospects.

In this episode, we discuss:

🏈 The real role parents play in recruiting 📱 Why Twitter is the most important recruiting platform ⚠️ Recruiting scams and overpriced services families must avoid 💪 The time, discipline, and strategy behind exposure 🥗 Nutrition, training, and athlete development 🧠 Mental health, burnout, and balancing the grind

Tonja also explains how consistent content, coach engagement, and strategic networking helped put her son on the radar of major college programs. This conversation offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the recruiting process from a parent who is living it every day.

If you’re a parent, athlete, or coach navigating youth sports recruiting, this episode is packed with insight.
