John Ferriter, former Board Member, William Morris Agency
Our family has worked with Tom Repicci over the past two years in the confusing world of football recruitment. I know absolutely that without his knowledge, expertise and guidance we would not have had the exposure that was necessary for my son to move to the next level. Tom spent countless hours making game tape and prospective college contact lists. He spoke to us weekly to address target schools and guide us towards the best camps and showcases. Tom has a lifetime of connections that were at our disposal and consequently, we met many wonderful people inside the football world. Somehow, he always happened to know exactly who we needed to contact within each target program. All this being said, what we found most valuable was Tom’s availability. We could call him any day at any time and he was ready to listen and discuss football. We spent several recruiting trips talking with Tom on the phone. He would have all the coach’s names and backgrounds so that our son was fully prepared when he hit the camp field. We developed a trust and friendship throughout those long talks and we truly believe that this is what sets him apart from others. Tom was just as invested in our son’s future as we were and I know absolutely that he was just as proud when our son received a scholarship to play football at the Division 1 level at The College of William and Mary. Can’t thank you enough Tom! - Joe & Gwen Tomasso, parents of Joey Tomasso (Waverly High School / The College of William & Mary)
In the rapidly changing landscape of collegiate football recruiting, there is no better person for a recruit to align themselves with than Tom Repicci. Tom brings a wealth of experience to every situation, having represented clients for 25 years in California as an professional agent. He knows business, how to network, how to connect, how to enhance interest in whomever he is working with. He guides and mentors both players and their families on how to contact colleges, manage social profiles, advise on camps, and directly contact coaches or schools. Tom’s experience in the difficult realm of collegiate recruiting and his persistence and personal passion for guiding players toward collegiate success is unparalleled. He is a hands-on advisor who works closely and continuously providing the personalized guidance required to create positive outcomes.
I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Tom on several collegiate quarterback prospects over the past 10 years and was continuously impressed with his level of detail, out of the box thinking, and knowledge that he provided for families. He played quarterback, and has a special affinity to the game from the quarterback’s unique perspective, and that shows through in everything he does. If you are a prospective collegiate level recruit, please have a conversation with Tom. His track record for placing players into next level positions is outstanding. He knows how to do it and what it takes. He possesses the integrity to tell you what you may not want, but need to hear. He pushes players to be accountable in everything they do. Most importantly he is there, time and again, for the families and players he represents. You will always get the truth and Tom’s best, and that is why he comes with my highest recommendation. - Jim Kubiak, QBEvolution.com (Ten year professional quarterback)
Can't thank Thomas Repicci enough for his help and guidance to get RJ here, but the constant contact throughout these 4 years (of college) has been what amazes me. RJ was not just a paycheck to these guys, he became a part of the family! - Daniel Woolcott, father of RJ Woolcott (Tonawanda High School / SUNY Brockport)

Our relationship with Tom and PrepStar started in November 2017 and would turn out to be one of the best decisions we made for the future of our son. Coming from a small school with limited knowledge of the recruiting process, we knew that it would be necessary to get professional advice. To say that Tom could provide and guide us through the process would be an understatement. Although everyone sees the weekly and annual highlight films done by Tom, that is just a small piece of the benefits that Tom provides. Whether it was social media advice, summer camps to attend, networking tips, and wealth of connections, Tom can do it all. Tom’s background enables him to provide invaluable guidance in each of these areas. The support that you will receive from not only Tom but the PrepStar network provides all the necessary exposure needed to get your child recruited. In the end, Tom worked with us to get our son recruited by several excellent higher education institutions, ultimately committing to Washington & Jefferson College.
Tom and PrepStar went above and beyond what we expected and became a critical part of “the team”. Tom has become a friend of the family, a confidant when needed, and will be utilized in the coming years with our youngest son. Tom made what can be a very stressful and difficult process easy to navigate and enjoyable.
If given the opportunity, we would undoubtedly encourage anyone looking to assist their son or daughter in getting recruited to sign up with Tom and PrepStar. You will not be disappointed and the return on investment will be well worth your time and money. – Kyle and Brynne Hinsdale, parents of Gerrit Hinsdale (Clymer High School / Washington & Jefferson College)
Over the past two years, Tom and PrepStar has given me the guidance that I needed to be able to play football at the next level. Tom has supported me throughout the entire recruiting process and made it very easy and enjoyable for me. Due to Tom’s experiences and connections, he has already begun to assist me in my career goals. I am thankful that I now consider Tom a friend and a mentor as I continue my athletic and academic career. – Gerrit Hinsdale, 2X Class D State Champion QB (Clymer High School / Washington & Jefferson College)
If your child is serious about playing collegiate sports, you need to utilize Tom Repicci and PrepStar! As the parent of a young athlete, the recruiting process can seem daunting.

PrepStar’s national reach and reputation will promote your child throughout the United States to all collegiate levels: D1, D2, D3 and Juco.

The amount of time Tom put into my son has been staggering, from my son’s 9th grade year through 12th grade and an extra prep school season. Every season and throughout each year Tom created game video highlights, statistics & awards updates, and continual social media posts of my son’s achievements and activities in all sports. Tom was my son’s sports agent! Attending games, banquets, offseason workouts & providing critical advice to my son. With Tom and PrepStar, you get a national local agent. You cannot find a better recruiting partner. Tom is considered a family friend for life!
Thank you Tom Repicci & PrepStar for everything! – Andy Sharp, father of Jack Sharp (Orchard Park High School / Milford Academy / University of Iowa)
I’ve always been a firm believer that you get what you pay for. In the case of Tom Repicci of Prep-Star that’s definitely proved to be true. Before I talked to Tom, I worked with a couple other “recruiters” who obviously did not have our son’s best interest at heart. They were more concerned about building their reputation than anything else. At the time I wasn’t familiar with Tom, but he sent a hand written note simply congratulating our son Sam on a big win against Canisius this past season. Sam was not one of his kids, it was just a nice heart felt note. I’m very thankful that Tom reached out to us because it’s obvious he cares what’s best for his kids. His knowledge of the recruiting process and attention to detail were instrumental in guiding Sam into the college where he fit best academically and for football. He worked very closely with us to develop a great strategy and always answered my questions. In fact, I talked to Tom so often during the recruiting process that his hourly rate must have been the lowest ever with us. Without his expertise and his obvious care for Sam, I’m not sure he would have ended up in the best situation as he did. We are very happy and proud to see Sam attending Ithaca College in the fall. I highly recommend Tom Repicci and I consider him a friend not just a recruiter. – Ray Kline, father of Sam Kline (St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute / Ithaca College)
Tom provided guidance and helped us navigate through a complicated and difficult recruiting process. Tom’s independent point of view kept things in perspective as we faced difficult situations and had to make decisions along the way. Tom was always there for us to lend an ear and provide advice when we needed it. He worked with us to develop a custom recruiting strategy and execute it. We trusted Tom’s experience and recommendations. His highlight film edits were well thought out and put together. We leaned on Tom for his knowledge of college football and recruiting at all levels. Tom was an advocate and marketer for Gavin, but he was also a friend and confidant that helped our family reach the goal line. From the first play to the last, Tom is all in! – Tim Susfolk, father of Gavin Susfolk (Canisius High School / Sacred Heart University)
