A big part of your role, and any success that comes with it, in College Football 25's Dynasty mode is the scouting and recruitment of players. After all, without the talent on the field to bring a national championship home to your school, there's no team to begin with. In the process of putting together as detailed and realistic of a recruitment system as possible, EA Sports established recruitment pipelines in the coaching game mode, which will heavily influence your success with a player. As highlighted in EA's deep dive of Dynasty mode, recruitment is largely regionalized, and pipelines are used to indicate how much influence you have over a particular area. There are multiple tiers of pipeline influence which, coupled with your stance on any player Deal Breakers, will determine your chance of successfully signing a prospect to your team.

With this in mind, the regions that you have an advantage over are based on the school you are coaching in, and the level of influence cannot be changed, so it is worth considering which parts of the United States you most want to target. You can certainly still recruit from outside your pipeline, but many players will be ruled out if proximity to home is a top priority for them when deciding on the school they wish to play for.

The Best Recruiting Pipelines in College Football 25

You can find elite talent anywhere in the US, so there aren't necessarily any bad pipelines to pick. In saying that, some areas have historically produced a certain style, size, or breed of talent, so if you're looking to target specific positions as a coach, it is worth doing some research into the available pipelines.

While there are excellent prospects in any pipeline, there are 50 in total, so it can be overwhelming. Should you want a good starting point that is generally rife with talent, then players can consider any of the following pipelines to begin their journey on the road to glory:

Florida
Texas
Georgia
California

Each of these states have multiple pipelines, which indicates there is so much talent historically that it's difficult to manage with just one. So selecting any school from these states will get you off to a strong start. If you're considering using any of these states' pipelines, then teams like the Georgia Bulldogs, Miami Hurricanes, or Texas Longhorns are great choices for top-tier schools.
