From High School Standout to the NFL: A Parent-Tested Path with Instant Feedback

Hi, I’m Calvin Avery, and my journey took me from Bishop Dunne to the University of Illinois, where I played defensive tackle for one of the top-ranked defenses in the country. In 2023, I fulfilled a lifelong dream when I signed with the Minnesota Vikings as a Free Agent. But none of this would have been possible without the foundation laid years ago by Instant Feedback.

Back in high school, I was an All-American High School Football Player, but talent alone isn’t enough to navigate the recruiting maze. It was the structure, wisdom, and real-world tools from Instant Feedback that helped my family and me manage the process with confidence. From the first college visit to making my final commitment, the journey was streamlined and stress-free. We were coached on what to say, when to follow up, and how to stand out.

One piece of advice from Coach Jiles still sticks with me to this day:
“Go where they love you and make sure you fit.” That mindset carried me all the way to the NFL.

Now, with the Free-Agent Package, parents and athletes on a tight budget can access the very same tools that helped launch my career: clear templates, guided videos, and proven outreach strategies. You don’t need thousands of dollars—you just need the right plan and a team that believes in you.

If you’re serious about your future, start here.
