Testimonials

"I went to a RARE showcase during the summer and competed as a DE and LB and the coaching was phenomenal. They were there after every rep critiquing and making my game better. Definitely a big help with recruiting as well and coach Juss is only a text or call away anytime you need him."
Cortland Horton DE, Eagle HS '21, Idaho State Commit
"Rare showcase has done a ton for me. Rare showcase got me great measurable’s and got them out there which helped me get exposure to colleges. Also got coaching from some top-of-the-line guys. A great group of guys who really want the best for the kids around the state."
Ben FordEagle HS ATH '21, Boise State Commit
"I really enjoyed the atmosphere at the RARE showcase. It was a great opportunity to compete and gain exposure. They kept in touch all season and made sure my name was getting recognition throughout the fall!"
Max LehmanRocky Mountain HS RB '21, Carroll College Commit
"During the pandemic all my practices and camps were canceled which made it extremely tough to get my name out to coaches. Being able to be a part of the RARE showcase last year gave me that competition between my peers that I’d been waiting for ever since quarantine started. RARE was able to help me get my film out to coaches which was extremely helpful in my journey to becoming a college football player. My experience was overwhelmingly positive and if I had the opportunity to go back and do it again, I would in a heartbeat!"
Henry DrydenBoise High LB '21, South Dakota Mines Commit
"RARE helped me in many ways. Even as a last minute add into last year’s showcase it was great to go out and show that I could compete with the best in Idaho. Also, the social media support that RARE does for Idaho helped me immensely during the season last year. Without RARE there would be a lot of guys like me who would not get nearly as much exposure."
Josiah ShieldsPost Falls High School LB '21, College of Idaho Commit
"Rare for me was huge, missing out on a junior camp circuit really hurt my recruiting but the opportunity to compete at RARE was very needed. I got to learn from great coaches and compete with some of the best athletes in the state. RARE is a great opportunity and if you think you’re a baller in Idaho, go to Rare and prove it."
Zack BlackRocky Mountain High School DE '21, Montana State Commit
"The Rare Showcase was one of the best showcases I have ever attended to gain exposure. After I attended, I was able to get nationally ranked on 247 Sports. They have many connections for Idaho football players, and a great coaching staff devoted to coaching Idaho’s future star athletes. I was very grateful for the opportunity to attend the Rare Showcase to gain exposure for colleges and recruiting services. I was also very grateful to be able to become an overall better football player after I attended the rare Showcase."
