REP 1 EXPOSURE Hits Atlanta: Scouting the AEX Combine This Weekend!

Atlanta is widely considered the heart of football talent in the Southeast, and this weekend, the city is about to get even louder.

On Saturday, March 21, 2026, the AEX Combine touches down in Atlanta, Georgia. For athletes looking to make a name for themselves, this isn't just another weekend of drills, it is a massive opportunity to jump on the radar of recruiters and scouts.

We are excited to announce that REP 1 EXPOSURE will be on the ground in full force. We aren't just there to watch; we are there to scout, film, and evaluate the next generation of stars. Whether you are a lockdown corner, a deep-threat receiver, or a flag football phenom, our eyes will be on you.

The Mission: Scouting the Future

Our mission at REP 1 EXPOSURE has always been about one thing: visibility. We know that talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn't. That is why we are hitting the turf in Atlanta to find standouts from the classes of 2027, 2028, 2029, and 2030.

This weekend is a prime chance for high school football recruiting to take center stage. We are specifically looking for:

• High School Boys (Class of 2027–2030)

• High School Flag Girls

• Middle School Flag Girls

  
  

The rise of flag football has been incredible to witness, and we are committed to providing the same level of elite coverage for female athletes as we do for the boys. If you are competing in the flag divisions, know that we are looking for your footwork, your hands, and your competitive fire.

What to Expect at the AEX Combine

The AEX Combine is a professional-grade evaluation environment. If you want to get scouted for college football, you have to produce numbers that coaches can trust. This event provides exactly that through verified athletic testing.

Athletes will be put through the paces with verified combine testing, including:

1. The 40-Yard Dash (Laser & Handheld): The gold standard for measuring true, game-relevant speed.

2. The 5-10-5 Shuttle (Laser & Handheld): A key change-of-direction test that shows short-area quickness and acceleration out of breaks.

   
   

After the testing concludes, the real fireworks begin with 1-on-1 live drills. This is where the "measureables" meet reality. We want to see how you react when a defender is in your face or how you shed a block when the whistle blows.

Why This Weekend Matters for Your Recruiting Journey

You might be wondering, "Why this specific combine?" The answer lies in the pathway it creates. The AEX Combine is a major gateway to the AEX All-American Bowl.

Top performers this weekend in Atlanta won't just walk away with a t-shirt; they could earn an invitation to one of the most prestigious bowl games in the country.

Furthermore, participants receive EXPO+ Rankings, which are essential tools for building a digital resume that college coaches actually look at.

In the world of athlete exposure camps, verified data is king. When a coach sees a 4.5-second 40-yard dash on your player profile, they want to know it was timed at a reputable event like AEX. This weekend is your chance to put those numbers on record.

REP 1 EXPOSURE: Our Role on the Sidelines

When you see the REP 1 EXPOSURE gear on the sidelines, know that we are working for you. Our team will be filming highlights, capturing high-quality stills, and taking detailed notes on player performance.

We aren't just looking for the fastest kid or the strongest arm. We are looking for "the look", that combination of technique, effort, and "dog" mentality that translates to the next level.

If you are a parent or an athlete attending, don't be shy. Come find us! We love meeting the families who are putting in the work to navigate the youth football exposure circuit.

We are here to be a resource for you. If you want to make sure you are on our radar before the first whistle, you can submit your info via our recruit submissions page.

Tips to Stand Out This Weekend

Having covered countless football combine events, we’ve noticed a few things that separate the prospects from the projects. Here is how you can catch our eye in Atlanta:

1. Master Your Technique Before You Get There

Don't let the first time you run an L-drill be at the combine. Practice your starts and your transitions. A tenth of a second in the 40-yard dash can be the difference between a "good" score and an "elite" one.

2. Compete in Every Rep

We watch how you behave when the cameras aren't directly on you. Are you cheering for your teammates? Are you getting back in line for another rep after a loss in 1-on-1s? Coaches want winners, and winners don't take plays off.

3. Dress the Part

AEX provides official performance gear, but make sure your cleats are broken in and your hair/accessories are handled. Looking like a professional athlete is half the battle when it comes to first impressions.

4. Know Your "Why"

When we pull athletes aside for interviews, we want to hear about your passion. Why do you play? What are your goals? Being able to articulate your journey makes you more than just a number on a spreadsheet; it makes you a person a coach wants to invest in.

The Growing Importance of Flag Football

We want to give a special shout-out to the High School and Middle School Flag Girls competing this weekend. The growth of flag football in Georgia is leading the nation, and the opportunities for collegiate scholarships in this sport are exploding.

REP 1 EXPOSURE is dedicated to providing the same high-level camp coverage for flag athletes as we do for tackle. We will be looking for elite route running, quick defensive backpedals, and high-IQ playmaking. If you are a girl in the class of 2027-2030, this is your time to shine.

Logistics: What You Need to Know

• When: Saturday, March 21, 2026.

• Where: Atlanta, GA (Check your registration for the specific facility address, often held at North Cobb Christian or similar premier venues).

• Check-in: Arrive early. The combine usually kicks off around 8:00 AM. Being early shows you are disciplined and ready to work.

• What to Bring: Your cleats, plenty of water, and a focused mindset. AEX usually handles the uniforms, but having your own recovery snacks is a pro move.

Building Your Brand with REP 1 EXPOSURE

Attending the combine is step one. Step two is making sure that the momentum from your performance doesn't stop when you leave the field.

After the event, we will be processing footage and updates. This is the perfect time to ensure your digital presence is up to par. College coaches spend hours on social media and recruiting sites. If they hear about a "fast kid from the Atlanta AEX combine," the first thing they will do is search for your name.

Make sure your player profile is updated with your latest stats, GPA, and contact information. We are here to help bridge that gap between the field and the recruiter's desk.

A Final Note from the Team

We are heading to Atlanta with high expectations. Georgia football is legendary for a reason, and we can't wait to see who emerges as the next big name in the 2027–2030 classes.

Whether you are a seasoned recruit or this is your first ever combine, give it everything you've got. The road to the AEX All-American Bowl starts this Saturday.

If you see the REP 1 EXPOSURE crew, come say hello. We are excited to document your journey and help you get the exposure you’ve worked so hard to earn. Let’s get to work, Atlanta!
