Hey guys,
I jumped 46 feet at my indoor state meet today. It was my PR and it feels pretty good to get up on the podium and nab a medal. The question is whether or not 46 feet is a good enough jump to get recruited. I’m currently a Senior, and a really good football player, but I’m wondering if there are opportunities out there for Triple Jump or even Long Jump, because I jump a 22 footer there also. Am I good enough to go D1 if the opportunity presents itself?

If you jumped 46'3", then yes, you are likely good enough to go D1 considering that the NBNI standard is 46'3", and majority of the athletes going to NBNI individually are D1-tier

Considering 46'3" gets you 45th in D3 right now, I'd say possibly but I don't think you'd get any scholarship money. You're far better off finding the right fit you academically.
