Next College Student Athlete can trace its roots back to the 1980s and a high school linebacker named Chris Krause who wanted to play college football. For Chris, and like many athletes today, recruiting was a mystery. It was a process athletes and families had to go through, yet no one was there to tell you how to do it—and do it well.

The company Chris founded, NCSA, changed all that in a big way.

Frisco Mo began because of our boys. They love volleyball and wanted to wear stuff that reflected the culture. There wasn't much. So, in 2017, I began selling a few t-shirts. We've grown to now offer volley shorts, stickers, blankets, beach towels, art, and uniforms. There's even stuff for girls. (I am one after all.)
