2025 Jackson State ➡️G/H Counter + Glance RPO

👀 👀

“Jackson State is the most dominant program in the SWAC”

The talent on the FCS level hasn’t depleted. I want to make that abundantly clear.

For context……

Parent Recruiting Legend! 🚨 • PWO — Preferred Walk-On: Invited to join the team with a reserved roster spot, but no scholarship money. Treated similar to scholarship players in day-to-day operations. • WO — Walk-On: No guaranteed spot. Must earn a place through tryouts or camp. • PSA — Prospective Student-Athlete: Any athlete a college is evaluating or communicating with before enrollment. • OFFER (Scholarship Offer) — A school is committing athletic scholarship money if the athlete accepts. • NON-COMMITTABLE OFFER — An offer that is conditional. The school likes the athlete but the offer depends on factors like camp performance, senior film, position needs, test scores, or other recruits committing. Not a guaranteed spot or scholarship yet. • NON-RENEWAL (Scholarship Not Renewed) — Scholarships are 1-year deals. A non-renewal means the school won’t renew it for the next year. • GRAY-SHIRT — Delay enrolling full-time until spring. Saves eligibility and scholarship numbers for the program. • REDSHIRT — Player sits out a season (up to 4 games in football) to save a year of eligibility. • BLUE-SHIRT — Player joins the team without a formal recruiting process; counts forward toward next year’s scholarship class. • TRANSFER PORTAL — Database where athletes can officially declare intent to transfer. • OV — Official Visit: School covers travel + expenses. Max 5 total for the athlete (new rule allows more, but only 1 per school). • UV — Unofficial Visit: Visit paid for by the family; athlete meets coaches and sees campus. • COMMIT — Athlete verbally agrees to attend a school.

Sometimes the grass is greener….

2026 Blue & White Spring Game 🔵⚪️ April 11th, 2026 #GuardTheeYard

The college football GM role barely existed 10 years ago. The transfer portal, NIL, and revenue sharing turned roster construction into a resource management problem: competing timelines, limited slots, real money, and decisions that have to be made faster.

Leveraging on this opportunity 🤓 #GuardTheeYard

Amazing lesson here for athletes & coaches from all pro Davante Adams “Don’t get caught up in drills on Instagram.” Keep it simple, keep it effective, hammer fundamentals… a lesson applicable to athletes of ALL sports

In the DC area for the HBCU/IPP Showcase and ran into another former Tiger who’s been handling his business! @DaOfficialRob

He didn’t say maybe. He said…….surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me, all the days of my life.
