1. Purpose of Tier I Portal
Tier I Portal is a strategic visibility network that identifies and promotes talented student-athletes who have been personally recruited and invited to join the platform.
Participation is by invitation only and is not open to public registration.
The Tier I Portal exists to highlight athletic and academic ability, support education and opportunity, and connect verified athletes with programs, schools, and organizations seeking talent.
We are not a placement agency. Tier I Portal does not guarantee scholarships, roster positions, or admissions outcomes. We provide recognition, education, and proactive exposure — not placement or representation.

Profiles may be shared with coaches, schools, and organizations in the normal course of recruiting activity.
