How Division II & III Coaches Are Expanding Their Reach With GMTM

GMTM, a growing social media platform for athletes, is helping college programs increase their reach and secure more talent at a fraction of the cost.

Their interactive platform has changed the way Division-III Colleges recruit, and there is proof.

“We found 40-percent of our next class through our Virtual Visit and expanded our reach to 16 states," said Shaun Weaver, the Recruiting Coordinator at Albright College.

Since partnering with GMTM in January, Weaver has had over 250 athletes participate in their online event.

And Weaver is not the only coach with a success story like that.

“We've had eleven kids in our 2022 class come from non-traditional states,” said Will Pluff, the Recruiting Coordinator at Utica College in upstate New York.

Pluff said that through GMTM, Utica has interest from athletes in 12 new states. All of those are places that were too expensive for the school to recruit before.

Over 1,800 athletes have interacted directly with colleges on GMTM this year. Their submissions came in the form of video introductions and written answers to activities created by each school.

But, colleges aren't the only organizations working with athletes on GMTM.

Football camps like Elite 11, The SHOW, VTO Sports, and others use the platform to upload video content for college recruiters.

GMTM is helping coaches at every level do more during each recruiting cycle in much less time. And the impact their platform has had on the industry is quickly growing.
