The Recruiting Trail
College football coaches' private jets.
We track the recruiting jets of 8 college football head coaches. The school or its athletic foundation owns each plane, not the coach. We check every tail number against the live FAA registry. Watch closely in December and January, the recruiting contact period. A short flight into a recruiting hotbed is often a home visit. Pick a coach to see the jet and its flight history.
