Hugo Berville

Hugo Berville reached out to Netlink Football to help him through navigating the transfer portal. He was at Duquesne University (D1), and while his ability and work ethic were never in question, the environment, program structure, and overall fit did not align with what he needed to continue progressing as both a player and a student.

At Netlink, we believe recruiting success isn’t always about level — it’s about fit. The right coaching staff, system, culture, and opportunity matter just as much as talent. After evaluating Hugo’s profile, we guided him through the NCAA transfer process, rebuilt his recruiting materials, and initiated targeted outreach to programs that matched his needs and playing style.

That process led to an opportunity with St. Bonaventure, a Division I program competing in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Hugo earned a scholarship offer and made the move into an environment where he could fully reset, refocus, and grow. The fit proved to be the right one — academically, athletically, and personally.

Hugo’s journey is a reminder that progress isn’t always linear. Sometimes, the right step forward is finding the place where you truly belong. Netlink Football is proud to have supported Hugo through this transition and to continue supporting athletes who are searching for the right path — not just the next one.
