About
OUR STORY
For years, I’ve seen softball players and their families struggle with the college recruiting process. Many don’t know which camps to attend, how to market themselves effectively, or just end up with poor advice along the way. Having coached elite travel ball for many years and helped guide over 200+ high school and college athletes through the recruiting process (and the transfer portal), I realized I could offer valuable knowledge, experience, and results to make this process smoother and more effective.We understand the recruiting landscape, the coaches, and what they’re truly looking for, which enables us to help players find the best college fit academically, athletically, financially, and socially.
Testimonials
I cannot say enough positive things about the support and guidance our family received from Richard Johnson. Navigating the college softball recruiting process can feel overwhelming, but from the very beginning, Richard Johnson brought clarity, honesty, and a genuine commitment to our daughter’s success.
He took the time to truly understand our daughter, Jada Roberts, not just as an athlete, but as a student and a person. From evaluating her skills and identifying the right collegiate fit to helping with communication, recruiting timelines, and exposure opportunities, every step was handled with professionalism and care.
What stood out most was Richard Johnson’s dedication and responsiveness. He was always available to answer questions, offer advice, and provide reassurance during stressful moments. His experience and connections with college softball coaches made a tremendous difference, and we truly believe our daughter would not be where she is today without his guidance.
In addition to offering his recruiting skills, he played a tremendous part to our daughter securing several scholarships. He was always available to write recommendation letters and also provided various leads to scholarships.
Thanks to Richard Johnson, our daughter is now committed to a college where she can thrive both academically and athletically. We are incredibly grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend Richard Johnson to any family seeking a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and passionate individual in the recruiting process.

Richard Johnson at RJK Recruiting Services played a key role in Cymone’s recruiting journey and helped us find the right destination at Hampton University. What set Richard apart was how intentionally he listened. He took time to understand our athlete goals and our family goals, then consistently identified schools, coaches, and relationships that truly aligned. He leveraged a strong portfolio of existing relationships and went out of his way to forge new ones on our behalf.
Richard also treated recruiting like a team sport. He welcomed collaboration with the entire village of supporters, including travel ball coaches, high school coaches, and anyone with a vested interest in our success, so everyone stayed aligned, and the right opportunities stayed in front of us. When it mattered, he found ways to be physically present to help move things forward in real time. That hands-on commitment comes from years of doing this work the right way, and it is a big reason we were drawn to Richard and his team.
Not only did he connect with Cymone, but he also connected with my wife as well. As a former athlete, a parent of an athlete, and a coach, he brought credibility and perspective and was always open to feedback. He did not just tell us what to do. He explained the why behind his thought process so we could make confident decisions. Communication was transparent, follow-up was relentless, and he did not just talk about outreach. He brought receipts of his interactions with coaches.

Coach Johnson,
I would like to sincerely thank you for all that you have done for our family. Your timing was impeccable to help my daughter navigate the transfer portal. God truly placed you with us in the right place at the right time. Not knowing where to turn and how to identify the best schools for our daughters’ needs, you were able to utilize your vast connections and relationships to help her find the best for her.
I will never forget you reminding my daughter to keep the main thing the main thing and to be sure she left softball with something meaningful. Because of your guidance and support, my daughter has officially graduated from a D-1 program with 1 year of NCAA eligibility remaining.
She is now adamant about pursuing medical school, and if she approaches that journey the same way she did softball—with discipline, commitment, and heart—we know she will succeed.
Again, thank you both for everything you’ve poured into her and our family. We are truly grateful.
