In recruiting - it's not who you know, it's who knows you.

Andrew Novelli

Owner

Andrew Novelli is an independent athlete consultant and the owner of Right On Track, LLC. Since 2010, Andrew has personally coordinated the recruitment of 575+ student-athletes in the Chicagoland Area to collegiate programs all across the country.

During his time at Illinois, Andrew worked for the football team under Head Coach Ron Zook as the Special Teams and Recruiting Assistant where he was responsible for creating weekly scouting reports by analyzing film on upcoming opponents during the 08-09 season and handling the daily duties of the recruiting office.

Andrew resides in Itasca, IL with his wife Joanna, nine year old son Calvin, seven year old daughter Delaney, and four year old daughter Camille. He enjoys spending time with his family and friends as well as attending local events to support the student-athletes and families he is working with.
