XR Navigator × Phenom Elite: A Game-Changing Platform for High School Athletes

COLUMBIA, SC – September 10, 2025 – High school athletes are facing the toughest recruiting environment in decades. With the transfer portal and NIL deals reshaping college sports, many coaches are now focused on proven college players instead of high school prospects. Even D1-level talent is slipping through the cracks, leaving parents frustrated, coaches overwhelmed, and athletes without a clear path.

That changes on September 15.

Phenom Elite has partnered with Xcelerate Recruiting to launch the first recruiting platform built specifically to give high school athletes back control of their futures. Their product, XR Navigator, combines recruiting technology, gamified progress tracking, and exclusive athletic rewards to create a one-of-a-kind experience for athletes and coaches.

Key Features of XR Navigator × Phenom Elite

• College Coach Database – Every verified college coach, all in one place. Athletes can search and directly connect without third-party gatekeepers.
  
  

• Step-by-Step Challenges – A weekly recruiting playbook that shows athletes exactly what to do to build momentum and stay on track.
  
  

• XP + Rewards – Progress unlocks exclusive Phenom Elite gear, discounts, and giveaways, motivating athletes to stay consistent.
  
  

• Coach Dashboards – High school coaches gain tools to organize recruiting efforts, monitor progress, and track each athlete’s journey.
  
  

“High school athletes deserve a real shot, not just a lucky break,” said Nathan Dorton, CEO of Phenom Elite. “This platform brings structure, access, and motivation together for the first time. It’s not about hoping anymore — it’s about having a real plan.”
