The P.U.S.H. Playbook by Dr. Derichard McCoy is setting a new standard for recruiting success among offensive linemen, a group historically overlooked in the college football recruiting process. The book's P.U.S.H. Framework—Playing Time, Up-Leveling, School, and Hype—provides a strategic blueprint for athletes to navigate the complexities of securing scholarships. Dr. McCoy's personal ascent from a high school student with a 1.4 GPA to a doctoral degree holder and assistant professor at Benedict College exemplifies the transformative potential of his approach.
Further amplifying its impact, Dr. McCoy's Football I-Q platform is spearheading a research initiative at Benedict College. This project aims to harness advanced scouting techniques and AI applications to elevate the college's football program to compete with elite FBS Power 4 schools. Such innovations are poised to redefine athlete development and recruiting, especially at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), where resources for such advancements have traditionally been limited.
The resonance of The P.U.S.H. Playbook and the Football I-Q initiative is already evident across the Southeast, with stakeholders in the athletic community praising its potential to level the playing field for under-represented student-athletes.
