We would like to congratulate Karson Bowers on his commitment to Tabor College. Here is a highlight of his recruiting story from his father. Good luck as a Bluejay!
College Decision:
Tabor College
Why did Karson choose Tabor College?
Head Coach Mark Standiford, competitive baseball team/conference, and Christ-centered education.
What makes Karson excited about his future in college?
In KBs words – “ I committed to Tabor because the coaches recruited me with purpose and believed in what I can bring to their program. The baseball culture is competitive, the conference is strong, and I see a real opportunity to contribute early. The academics fit my goals and the faith centered environment felt right for who I am. It’s the place where I can grow and be pushed on and off the field.”
Why would you recommend SportsForce to other student-athletes or parents?
I would recommend SportsForce because they turned a confusing process into a clear plan. Before joining, we were doing everything we thought we were supposed to do and KB was still invisible. SportsForce gave us structure, strategy, and an advisor who consistently promoted him to the right coaches. They kept us focused, guided us through every step, and helped us find the right college fit. Having their experience and support made all the difference.
What was your recruiting journey like before SportsForce?
Slow and inconsistent. We tried everything on our own. Books, videos, advice, free recruiting sites. None of it gave us a real plan. KB had the work ethic, the grades, and the metrics, but he was invisible. We could not get him in front of the right coaches.
SportsForce changed that fast. They gave us direction, strategy, and a true advocate who knew what he was doing. Coach Skinner showed us where to focus our time and how to run a real recruiting plan. Trying to do this alone felt like driving in the dark. SportsForce turned the lights on and helped KB get where he wanted to go.
What did your personal recruiting advisor do that made a significant impact?
Coach Skinner checked in often and kept Karson in front of real opportunities. He stayed engaged, promoted him, and gave honest counsel when we needed it. His experience brought reassurance during the ups and downs. The recruiting process is a roller coaster, and he was the steady voice of reason we needed the whole way through.
Over the last 15 years, SportsForce has helped over 1,000 student-athletes and families successfully navigate the college recruiting and athletic scholarship process while saving families on average $80,000 in college expenses.
Our Mission at SportsForce Baseball:
We are on a mission to help our select number of qualified and evaluated players maximize their recruiting offers and make the best college decision.
Started by CEO & Founder Andrew Beinbrink, SportsForce Baseball is a nationally recognized college recruiting advisory group with over 40 former college coaches, players, and MLB scouts in 10 different states. During the last 14+ years, we’ve helped over 1,000 players make their college commitments.
Read below, why we are different from every recruiting group in the country.
Why SportsForce is Different:
* View our Home Page Video Unlike most recruiting companies, we do not just partner with anyone for our hands-on recruiting programs. Instead, we only partner with qualified players who meet our Five academic, athletic, and coachability selection factors.
We evaluate between 10,000-12,000 players each summer and fall at top showcases and selectively advise, and advocate for only a limited number of players each year by directly contacting college coaches to help them maximize recruiting offers.
Each of our expert college recruiters is limited to how many players they will advise so there is the best combination of hands-on guidance and personal recruiting outreach to college coaches.
Social Media Exposure: We also utilize our growing Twitter following at @SportsForceBB which is followed by over 500 NCAA D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and JC coaches nationwide and growing fast.
