Jeff Duva - Founder Of CSA Prepstar

Jeff Duva, the founder of CSA Prepstar, pioneered the student athlete recruiting business 27 years ago after realizing that there were literally tens-of-thousands of deserving student-athletes who were completely over-looked each and every year – in all college sports!

Jeff himself was over-looked in the college recruiting process and had a very difficult time getting into college to play football even though academically and athletically he was more than qualified. Once he did get in, it became evident that he had been unfairly overlooked in the recruiting process. Jeff quickly become a ‘Super-Star’ quarterback in Division I football.

When Jeff was the football coach at Cal-State Fullerton he made a habit of keeping track of the high school football scene in Southern California realizing through his own experience that there may be many high school athletes being over-looked for college sports.

He left coaching and his student-athlete recruiting business began. In founding CSA Prepstar, Jeff’s philosophy was to make sure that no deserving student-athlete was over-looked by the NCAA & NAIA college systems.

CSA Prepstar Testimonials

I would like to personally thank you for your service and efforts in helping Renee acquire a golf scholarship to Barry University in Miami. I highly recommend CSA Prepstar to any parent of a student athlete who desires an edge in a very competitive market. Sincerely, Ron Trudeau

This is FYI. Melanie accepted the University of Nevada at Reno's offer for full golf scholarship. The athletic director is scheduling a signing at the campus.

She received full offers from: San Jose State - Fresno State - UC Riverside - and partial scholarships (more than 50%) from Cal State Long Beach - Cal Poly San Luis Obispo - University of San Francisco just to name a few.

CSA really helped with exposing Melanie to the mid-west and eastern schools as well. Thanks for all CSA’s help! Carlos de Leon

Colleen and I want to take this time to thank CSA for your time and service. Brendan has accepted a football scholarship from Northwestern University.

Your service does indeed work. We have had several conversations with division I colleges. Wofford College in South Carolina and Indiana State are just two of many that named CSA as the initial point of contact. The Smith Family

I just want to let you know how much I appreciated all of your help this past year with Steven's recruiting process. The recruiting experience can be long, frustrating, and confusing.

The services that CSA offer greatly eased the stress that a parent and family may feel during this time. You were a great help in giving advice about when and how to go through the stages of the recruitment journey. Steven received a full football scholarship to ECU this fall. I hope you feel a part of our success in reaching this goal.

Please let me know if I can be of any help to you in discussing with any families how satisfied and impressed I was with CSA service and professionalism. Thanks again for all you help. Steven G. Rogers M.D.

I just got back from a recruiting trip in Iowa. There I signed with Div. 2 NAIA Graceland University in Lamoni, Iowa. I am really excited to get to play basketball at Graceland university. I want to thank you very much for all that you've done! You helped so much in the college search and college interest! Thank You so, so much! Brittany Sliger

We want to thank CSA. Our son Jonah received a football scholarship to Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, in Division 1-A. CSA is a valuable service and resource to anyone looking for a way to match their academic and athletic abilities to schools in all divisions.

Jonah’s goal was to earn a Division 1 scholarship with a good school. The advice and exposure that CSA gave him was invaluable, since he was coming from a very small high school. We are happy to recommend CSA to anyone with children who have aspirations of pursuing a college scholarship. John Russell

Allen has two more offers one from UCLA and one from Arizona State and more to come!!We have already had an offer from Ole Miss. We continue to be impressed by the number of responses and interest we are getting from the Major programs across the USA. Thank you, CSA has done so much for him. Sincerely, The Bradford Family

My name is Mark Mosby. I have signed a Letter of Intent to play football at the Air Force Academy. Thank you for all your help with exposing me to help get me recruited. I would recommend CSA Prepstar to any one that is looking for a edge in the recruiting process.

I was contacted by over 30 colleges Div I, II, III, NAIA and Ivy League. CSA did a excellent job in helping me get recruited. Thank you, Mark Mosby

I’ve been very busy with visits and talking to coaches. I just recently took a visit to both Princeton and Columbia, in which I loved both. I have two more visits scheduled (Cornell, and Rhode Island), but I am contemplating canceling them, due to the fact that I am almost 100% sure I want to go to Columbia.

Thank you for all your work you have done for me this past year, as I appreciate it greatly. You have done a wonderful job. I will let you know about anyone that could use your assistance in the recruiting process. Thanks again, Tim Paulin
