Scholarship Breakdown by Division:
D1-FBS: 85 Scholarships
D1-FCS: 63 Scholarships
D2: 36 Scholarships
D3: 0 Athletic Scholarships
NAIA: 24 Scholarships
It’s rare to get a full-ride FCS & below, so if you do get one don’t take it lightly.
Again, you don't need a hype man to get recruited.
You need God-given athletic ability, good grades, a strong work ethic, and the backing of your high school coach!
I’m seeing all of these debates.
JUCO vs. Transfer
Portal vs. No Portal
“Quit” vs. “2nd Chance.”
At the end of the day, if you can ball, you can ball! Everyone’s situation is different. 🏈
The main thing is to get that degree! 📜
PS. I’m still watching tape.🎥
Recruits who are not signing today -
don’t allow for what you see on social media today to discourage you. Jealousy and Envy corrupt. Everyone has their own journey. Be patient and keep working!!
Recruits!
Communication is vital within the recruiting process!
Communicate with the coaches recruiting you
Need to reschedule a phone call? Communicate
Need to cancel a visit?
Communicate
Not interested in their school?
Communicate
It’s a great practice to begin for life!
Mid year transfers and JUCO players looking to play ball this upcoming spring - drop your Hudl Link 🎥 ⬇️ Great opportunity to play and get an education
I have zero tolerance for entitlement. If anyone thinks they can just show up, not put the work in, not prepare, they're not getting on the bus.
It's all about the process. It's hard work, attention to detail, discipline, technique, fundamentals.
Mel Tucker on what it takes:
PLAYERS: When you become a "whatever the team needs" type player then you become a great teammate and your team's culture is strengthened. Great teams have great teammates.
Recruits: One of the best things you can do to help your recruitment is to get out and see schools. Use the Winter/Spring/Summer to take advantage of the opportunities to meet staffs. Much easier to “stand on the table” for a guy that you have met in person than one you have not!
Want to talk about Playing Time?
Ok, but first, let’s talk about…
- Film time

If you are entering the portal because you are not playing enough or not getting enough touches… make sure you did everything YOU could: handled your business off the field, knew your assignments. Mama, Daddy don’t know that truth. You do!!! Love you enough to be real.
Receivers what are you working on this off season?
WR non-negotiable skills:
Ball Skills (catches per day)
Contested Catches (wt rm strength)
Create Separation (explosion)
Run After Catch (change of direction)
Blocking (commitment)
Competitive Toughness (determination to finish)
God has something great for you but you must take action with faith and go through a battle to seize it. It’s never going to be easy. It’s not supposed to be. The struggle builds your character, fosters humility, develops your strength and makes you appreciate the journey.
The NAIA doesn’t have recruiting dead periods, so that means you and coaches can get to know each other EVERY SINGLE day of the year. So tomorrow, June 1, is another perfect day for us to find the best student-athletes who fit our program
