Charlotte-based Stay Plugged In (the premier recruiting platform for esports scholarships) and Coca-Cola Consolidated, the nation's largest Coca-Cola bottler, have teamed up to highlight the important role gaming plays in advancing student opportunities. We'll showcase the top high school VALORANT and Rocket League players with 40 Juniors and Seniors from across the country named as 2024 Stay Plugged In Coca-Cola All-Stars.

All-Stars will be chosen by a Selection Committee consisting of leading industry figures and representatives of Coca-Cola Consolidated. The Committee is looking for the next college player - selection will focus on technical skills, contributions to the community and team orientation. All-Star Weekend takes place in November - where the All-Stars meet college recruiters and show their skills in a challenge and tournament - with $20,000 in prizing available with a format that sees that every player receive a minimum of $250.

Coca-Cola Consolidated is the largest Coca-Cola bottler in the United States. For 120 years, we have been making, selling, and distributing beverages of The Coca-Cola Company and other partner companies in more than 300 brands and flavors across 14 states and the District of Columbia to approximately 60 million consumers.
