What students and coaches say
about American College Placement
Finding the balance
“When I found ACP, I was focused on a limited number of schools. American College Placement helped me expand my search. My mentor’s insights proved to be invaluable in helping me find the best fit. In November, I announced my commitment to a top tier division three program where I will have an opportunity to travel extensively, play lots of meaningful matches, and get a terrific education. Finding that balance was essential to me making my decision. I would recommend that anyone considering college tennis reach out to ACP. They can help you achieve your goals.”
- Jax Harbour
“Matt Knoll was unbelievably helpful to me when I wanted to increase the talent level of our men’s and women’s tennis teams, while finding athletes that would create value towards the culture we were building. He went above and beyond to gain a deep understanding of Georgetown University and connect me to the right athletes. His 30 years of experience as a top college coach really made the difference. I highly recommend Matt’s services to 1) any athlete looking for customized attention from a former coach that is highly connected and knowledgeable, or 2) any college coach needing to exposure to athletes in areas previously unfamiliar.”
ACP has been
A Huge Blessing
“American College Placement has been a huge blessing for me and my college search experience. Through their help, I was able to get in contact with coaches of all divisions throughout the country from east coast to west coast. I went on many college visits and in the end signed on a full scholarship at Northwest Missouri State University; saving my parents about 100 thousand dollars over four years. I am very thankful for their guidance and for the opportunity of expanding my options with colleges.”
- Victoria Caster
“ACP was by far the best resource I had when it came to my college decision. They really helped me widen my college options and helped me find the perfect college for me. Without the help of ACP, I’m not sure what things would look like right now for me.”
RECRUITING AND COMMUNICATION WITH COACHES WERE DAUNTING TO ME.
“My name is Christian Picot and I aspired to play college tennis, and recruitment and communication with coaches were daunting to me. American College Placement really helped me make sense of a complicated process. They helped me create a realistic list of schools and reached out on my behalf to many coaches who might not previously have had me on their radar. I really appreciated their guidance.”
- Christian Picot
“I believe American College Placement will bring a unique energy and level of service to the college search process. The personalized face-to-face model really sets them apart. I encourage anyone interested in maximizing their search to bring ACP aboard. ”
WITH ACP I WAS ABLE TO STAY ON TRACK
“Between school, work, college applications and athletics, it’s difficult to stay organized during the recruitment process. With ACP, I was able to stay on track with my recruitment, get the help I needed with emails and visits, and as questions about this confusing process.”
- Rhett Bailey
“Hi Coach Knoll - just a note to let you know that working with you and American College Placement was the perfect decision for my son! Involving you and your firm was exactly what got us over the recruiting hurdles that we were facing. Your assistance led my son Joe to a track scholarship at the University of Florida! His dream is to run at a D1 premier program and you definitely helped us get that! Thank you!”
Michela Moore - Dartmouth
“Matt is definitely an asset in the college recruiting process. He knows many of the coaches personally. He makes his own assessments of the student athlete. He is truthful in their assessment and realistic in their collegiate opportunities and expectations.
His ability to connect with collegiate coaches and give an expert assessment really helps in the discussion between the student athlete and the coach. He helps students explore many opportunities they may not have thought were realistic. He truly is an advocate for the student athlete. I highly recommend him.”

“At the beginning, we were really thinking that we will find a college for our son by ourselves; however, after a couple of months, nothing was happening and the pressure was increasing. We researched online, and subscribed to an online company for $500; however nothing ever came from that. We finally found Matt Knoll from American College Placement. His professionalism, kindness, availability, explanations, network gave us a real feeling of support and a partner that we could trust to help find the best “college solution” fitting our son’s profile and our expectations. Thanks to Matt, my son has been accepted to Purdue!”
