About

QBDNA

Features
Read full description

QBDNA is where quarterbacks get seen. One profile holds everything a college coach wants to know: your measurables, your film, your season, and your offers. Build it once, then keep it current and let it work for you. FOR QUARTERBACKS Verified numbers. Height, weight, velo, deep ball, forty and more. Numbers proven at a camp or combine carry a verified mark, so a coach can tell what was measured from what was claimed. Submit evidence from your phone and get your own numbers verified. The Board. Browse every quarterback on QBDNA by class, state, and measurables. Watch offers and commitments land as they happen. Rankings. Leaderboards for every measurable, with a verified-only filter so the numbers mean something. Film that plays. Add your Hudl or YouTube highlights and they play right on your profile and in the feed. Ground View mechanics. Short clips of your throwing motion from the angles coaches ask for, including the side and behind views and your out, go, and dig throws. Signature throws. Post your best throws with the game context behind them. Game log. Add your schedule, log your stat line after each game, and get a nudge Sunday morning so you never forget. Verified stat lines feed the production leaderboards. Share cards. A clean card of your numbers and your photo, sized for Instagram and X. The Arena. Your QB trainer's schedule, one tab away. See his open times and book your next session. FOR PARENTS Create and manage your quarterback's profile, add the contact and academic information coaches ask for, and book his training. Parents handle the payments, so players under 17 are never shown a balance or a pay button. Girls can sign up through the parent portal for training only. Those profiles book sessions and never appear on The Board, Rankings, or the feed. FOR QB TRAINERS Run your training business from your phone. Your roster, your calendar, group sessions with age groups, camps, packages, and monthly unlimited plans. Families book your open times themselves. Payouts are handled for you, and your reports show who owes what. FOR COLLEGE COACHES A hand-verified coach account opens the scouting side: filter by measurables, build your board, keep scouting notes, share a board with your staff, see the games calendar, and reach out through the app. QBDNA+ MEMBERSHIP An optional membership for quarterbacks who want more room to stand out. Your profile surfaces first when coaches browse The Board. Six mechanics clip slots instead of two and five signature throws instead of one. Stat progression charts, alerts when a college program views your profile, a feed of every offer sent by the schools you follow, extra action shots for your share cards, and a QBDNA+ mark on your profile. We also post about you on QBDNA's Instagram and X at least once a month. QBDNA+ is an auto-renewing subscription: QBDNA+ Monthly, 1 month, $29.99 QBDNA+ Annual, 1 year, $299.00 Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: QBDNA at 5.0 against Hudl's 4.3. QBDNA also leads on ads (none vs shown). Hudl's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 1) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 days). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
