THE ORIGIN.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN.
When our CEO, Darius Conley, watched his own son enter the high school football recruiting process, he realized a hard truth: simply putting a profile on a generic recruiting website wasn’t enough. Athletes were getting lost in a pool of thousands of kids fighting for the exact same roster spots.
​
His son didn't need a generic profile he needed a way to individually connect with college coaches. From that necessity, BIG BALLIN MEDIA was born. And the system worked: Darius's son successfully committed to play NCAA DIII football for the Carthage College Firebirds.​
Today, we use that exact same proven blueprint to take the stress off parents' shoulders. We act as the official digital media arm for top-tier student-athletes across the country and beyond, ensuring they get the same elite exposure.
