“It is because of [Rodney] I am able to live out my dream playing for Faulkner University! …I’m ever grateful to this man for all the hard work he put in for me.”
Todd Hoover, Faulkner University
Football (Alabama)
“I’ve loved playing football since I was a little kid. Throughout the years I played for a couple schools including Foley middle school and Gulf Shores High. I began having dreams to play college ball during my sophomore year. As time passed, my goal became extremely important to me. Although, I didn’t see much hope because coaches had not reached out to me about playing for them yet. I had no clue how to start the recruiting process and my coaches did very little to help me out with that issue. Then I met Mr.Cox. He gave me the hope I needed by constantly providing for me on a day to day basis. He answered all of my questions and told me that I had the ability to play college football. He was always very kind to me, patient, and insightful. Rodney guided me through the recruiting process and was one of the few people that believed in me. He bestowed upon me the encouragement and knowledge I needed to get where I am today. It is because of him I am able to live out my dream playing for Faulkner University! Furthermore, his thoughtfulness goes beyond the recruiting process. To this day, 2 years later, he still checks up on me and provides a positive voice when he does. I’m ever grateful to this man for all the hard work he put in for me and his ability to do so in a swift manner.”
“Coach Jackie worked with our family and guided my daughter through this whole process. As a result, my daughter received many offers from college.”
Baileigh Seale, Chattanooga State

“If you have an athlete interested in playing their sport in college, I would recommend giving Coach Jackie with Empower Recruiting a call. Coach Jackie evaluated my daughter on the volleyball court and, most importantly, gave her confidence that she could definitely play at the collegiate level. There is A LOT involved with the recruiting process. More than we ever imagined. Coach Jackie worked with our family and guided my daughter through this whole process. As a result, my daughter received many offers from college. She is amazing and will help your daughter find their fit too. Thank you Coach Jackie!!”

“She can see each athlete’s talents and listens to what they want from their college experience. Her superpower is knowing what colleges will be interested in each athlete, and which schools the athlete will be happy at. We never would have found my daughter’s perfect fit school with her!”
Rylee DeSimone, JUCO Transfer
Volleyball (California)
“Working with Coach Jackie Arnold and Empower Collegiate Recruiting has been amazing. From the beginning, everything has been handled with professionalism mixed with a level of caring you won’t find with other recruiters. You aren’t just a number – you are an athlete, a parent, a family and everyone’s needs are taken into consideration by Coach Jackie. She can see each athlete’s talents and listens to what they want from their college experience. Her superpower is knowing what colleges will be interested in each athlete, and which schools the athlete will be happy at. We never would have found my daughter’s perfect fit school with her!”

“[Rodney] is the only reason I am still able to play the sport I love in college. Without this great mentorship to show me the stepping stones, there was no possibility I was even thinking of playing college football.”
Rashaad Ollie, William Penn University
Football (Alabama)
“I am a college student-athlete as right now at William Penn University playing the sport I love since I was 8 years old. I only have one person that I am grateful that helped me be put on the righteous path and his name is Coach Rodney Cox. He has a great personality that makes you feel like a family, but also a strong will to help other athletes show their potential. There are no favorites in his group, he just wants every athlete that he represents to strive for greatness. He is the only reason I am still able to play the sport I love in college. Without this great mentorship to show me the stepping stones, there was no possibility I was even thinking of playing college football. He has all the tools in his grasp to bring out a different athlete than what you were thinking of yourself. The strong minded guidance of Coach Rodney can be used to teach any player that is struggling to find him/herself and can make them into a better person not just on the field but off. It feels like I new Coach Cox my whole life and I cannot thank him again for what he did for my family and I.”
“[Rodney] encouraged me to try-out at a D1 school. He reached out to cheer coaches who looked over my film … He is still cheering me on and checking in on me. I’m not sure I would be at ISU if it weren’t for his guidance, motivation, and support.”
Katie Callison, Iowa State University
Cheer (Arizona)
“Rodney was instrumental in helping me fulfil these dreams. He supported me and encouraged me to try-out at a D1 school. He reached out to cheer coaches who looked over my film and told me I would be able to compete at this next level. This was just the encouragement I needed at the time. It is easy to doubt you are good enough to try out or would be a candidate for a university team. Rodney even helped me connect with a tutor for my SAT’s so I could present my best academically as well. Rodney always told me that when we start working with him he treats us like family. This could not be more accurate. He is still cheering me on and checking in on me. I’m not sure I would be at ISU if it weren’t for his guidance, motivation, and support. Thank you Rodney for helping me to dream big and reach my goals.”
“I wasn’t sure what to expect before meeting Jackie, and we had no prior knowledge or experience with recruitments or how to even approach the idea. Elena being able to play with Power National Volleyball Club opened up a lot of opportunities and helped my daughter become a college volleyball athlete.”
Elena Brown, York University
Volleyball (Georgia)
“I personally want to thank Jackie Arnold for the help and the guidance that she has given my daughter, Elena Brown. I wasn’t sure what to expect before meeting Jackie, and we had no prior knowledge or experience with recruitments or how to even approach the idea. Elena being able to play with Power National Volleyball Club opened up a lot of opportunities and helped my daughter become a college volleyball athlete. Jackie has done more than help Elena with her game and getting into York University, she opened herself up to Elena when she was losing her love for the game. She gave her advice and critique that Elena now brings with her everywhere. My family is eternally gratful for beign able to find someone so kind and compassionate about Elena and share their love for the game of volleyball.”
Lena Wynn – (Parent of Elana Brown 2024)
“I could feel the consistent effort he put into try to get me on the radar of the coaches at the schools I loved. He made me feel that I was the priority.”
Madison Officer, University of Arizona
Equestrian (Arizona)
“There are a couple of things that make Rodney not only an amazing scout but also an amazing person to work with. Even as his first ever equestrian athlete, he was so enthusiastic to learn about my sport and support me in every way he could. I could tell that he gave 100% of his effort to me while also doing the same for so many other athletes and he opened so many doors of opportunity for me in the process. I also always felt involved in his process- he kept me in the loop and made sure I knew who to email, who to call, and when to expect a call from someone. Not only did he keep me very well informed, but I also always knew my opinion was valued. For me, my priority was going to a school that I would enjoy, not just for the sport, and he always respected that and worked toward that goal. Although I chose not to do any mass advertising to a lot of schools, I could feel the consistent effort he put into try to get me on the radar of the coaches at the schools I loved. He made me feel that I was the priority, not my sport and that makes him so good at what he does. He is a people person through and through which means you feel like a part of his family as his athlete. Thank you, Rodney Cox, for allowing me to go to UofA and ride on their equestrian team; it’s a dream come true and I couldn’t have done it without you.”
“Jackie has taken the time to get to know, not just Lily as a person, but us as a family, and because of that she has been able to see the best parts of Lily that would have been overlooked. We are so thankful for all she has done for us and we know that she will always be in our corner.”
Lily Halberg, Juco Transfer
Volleyball (Port Angeles, WA)
“My, daughter, Lily, dreamed of playing volleyball in college ever since she was 9 years old. We live in a very remote area too far from big cities and big volleyball clubs that make it difficult to get the college exposure she needs. During the pandemic, Washington didn’t have a state tournament so it was even harder to get recognized by colleges. Lily was getting discouraged and starting to think that her dream may not come true. We met Jackie, and all that changed. She gave Lily the opportunities and the road map to become a collegiate volleyball athlete. Jackie has taken the time to get to know, not just Lily as a person, but us as a family, and because of that she has been able to see the best parts of Lily that would have been overlooked. We are so thankful for all she has done for us and we know that she will always be in our corner.”
