247Sports is an American network of websites that focus mainly on athletic recruitment in college football and basketball.

[1] The network was started in 2010 and gained popularity as other sports news media publications began citing 247Sports as a source.

[9] In October 2017, 247Sports announced a partnership with Pro Football Focus, in which it would provide coverage of Division I FBS college football for the website, including a PFF College microsite and integration of its player grades and rankings across 247Sports.

[10] In early 2020, 247Sports.com hired Columbus, Georgia native sportscaster Josh Pate to host a show on the 247Sports YouTube channel called "Late Kick Live".

[11] In Summer 2021, the company relocated from its original home in suburban Brentwood, Tennessee to downtown Nashville, where it now shares facilities with Paramount's CMT.

The Composite aggregates the public ratings for a prospect by the major recruiting services using a propriety algorithm.

[13][14] The Composite does not include any athletes that do not yet have a recruiting profile on 247Sports in order to prevent spoofs from other sites.

Four star ratings are given to recruits who analysts believe will have successful college careers that likely result in being drafted.
