Mickey Plyler began covering recruiting in 1986 but started his first business, Plyler's Football Recruiting Service, in Columbia, SC in 1993. For three years PFRS published monthly newsletters covering the ACC and SEC schools. During his first three years, Plyler traveled over 50,000 miles personally scouting prospects over the Southeast.

In 1996, Plyler joined Bill King of WLAC radio in Nashville, TN to form The Southeastern Recruiting Alliance. The SRA published the nation's first monthly football recruiting magazine. The SRA had a subscription base and was sold in over 60 newsstands throughout the Southeast.

In 1999, Plyler started www.mickeyplyler.com. The website covered football recruiting for the ACC and SEC schools. The website averaged over one million hits a month starting in its first month.
