NIL & RECRUITING
Unlocking NIL and Recruiting Opportunities for TE Prospects: A Junior Day Guide
📍 MBA Trojans·Thursday, July 23, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
As a top tight end prospect at a DII-AAA program like MBA Trojans, making a strong impression on coaches during junior day visits is crucial for NIL and recruiting opportunities. Coaches look for specific skills and traits that set you apart from other prospects. One key area to focus on is blocking technique. Coaches want to see a TE who can seal the edge and create a seam for the running back. To demonstrate this, practice blocking drills with a focus on footwork and hand placement. For example, aim to block a defender for 3 seconds or more, allowing the RB to gain 5 yards or more. This will show coaches that you can make a significant impact on the field and increase your NIL and recruiting value.
