UNIVERSITY ATHLETE TOKENIZATIONThe College Football Now University Athlete Tokenization whitepaper explains how to implement the world's greatest technologies into collegiate athletics to produce an equitable, sustainable and educational model across the USA!  Official University Athlete Tokenization WhitepaperEmpowering Student-Athletes through Blockchain, AI, and Tokenized Economies Developed by: Merf Trout, Scout Trout Elite & College Football Now Date: October, 24th, 2025 Executive Summary In the modern collegiate sports landscape, student-athletes generate billions of dollars in revenue through media rights, merchandise, sponsorships, and ticket sales. Despite recent advancements through Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) reforms, the compensation structure remains fragmented, inequitable, and lacks scalability. This whitepaper outlines a next-generation blockchain and AI-based solution for equitable student-athlete compensation and engagement through university-issued cryptocurrency tokens. Inspired by Merf Trout, owner of Scout Trout Elite and College Football Now, this framework blends financial innovation, algorithmic equity, and educational empowerment into a sustainable ecosystem that transforms the future of college athletics. 1. The Problem: Inequitable and Inefficient Compensation Value Mismatch: College athletics programs generate massive revenues, yet many athletes struggle financially. Lack of Transparency: Current NIL systems depend on private deals and unregulated sponsorships, leaving most athletes excluded. Educational Gap: Student-athletes often lack financial literacy training, leading to mismanagement of newfound income. Institutional Inflexibility: Universities have limited tools to manage, track, and reward athlete contributions transparently. 2. The Vision: Tokenized University Ecosystem Each university will establish its own blockchain-based token ecosystem (e.g., **UNI-Token**) — a decentralized, transparent, and AI-driven economy that rewards athletes, engages fans, and empowers institutional growth. Core Principles: 1. Equity: Every athlete earns tokens based on measurable contributions (performance, academics, leadership). 2. Transparency: Smart contracts record all transactions and rewards on an immutable ledger. 3. Sustainability: Tokens maintain intrinsic value through real utility — merchandise, tickets, fan experiences, and educational applications. 4. Empowerment: Students gain real-world exposure to blockchain, financial management, and entrepreneurship. 3. UNI-Token Framework Token Mechanics Token Name: UNI-Token (University-specific branding, e.g., GATOR-Token, TIGER-Token) Blockchain Platform: Ethereum Layer 2 (Polygon/Arbitrum) for scalability and low fees or the Government/NCAA creates their own unique block-chain so you are not correlated to the turbulent market. Token Type: Utility Token with Stable-Value Mechanism (soft peg to USD value floor). Total Supply: Defined by algorithmic issuance; governance-adjustable through decentralized voting. Use Cases (Ever-Evolving) 1. Athlete Compensation: Tokens awarded for performance, academic achievements, and community involvement. 2. Fan Engagement: Fans use tokens to buy tickets, merchandise, NFTs, and exclusive access. 3. Alumni & Donor Integration: Alumni can invest, stake, or donate tokens to scholarship pools or athletic programs. 4. Local Economy Integration: Partner businesses accept UNI-Tokens, strengthening home grown economic ties. 5. Scholarships & Academics: Token-based academic awards and learning incentives. 4. Governance Model Token Committee Structure: Members: University administrators, athletic department heads, alumni, blockchain experts, and student-athlete representatives. Responsibilities: Token issuance oversight, smart contract approval, value stabilization, and auditing. Voting Mechanism: Decentralized governance (DAO) where key stakeholders vote on protocol updates. Compliance: Integration with NCAA and state regulations for NIL and digital asset frameworks. Built-in KYC (Know Your Customer) and anti-fraud protocols for wallets. 5. Role of AI & Data Analytics Artificial Intelligence drives fairness and scalability: Performance Analytics: Real-time data tracking of athletic performance, academic records, and social impact metrics. Dynamic Token Allocation: AI models determine fair compensation using weighted algorithms (similar to Scout Trout’s S.T.E.P rating system). Predictive Modeling: AI forecasts token demand, engagement trends, and liquidity needs. Behavioral Insights: AI assesses fan behavior to design engagement campaigns and loyalty programs. 6. Token Utility Ecosystem A. Athlete Wallets & Rewards Each student-athlete receives a secure digital wallet upon enrollment. Tokens automatically distributed based on AI-verified smart contracts. Graduation or professional exit allows conversion to fiat or long-term staking options. B. Fan and Alumni Ecosystem Fans earn or purchase tokens to access perks (exclusive merchandise, VIP events, digital collectibles). Down the road a CFB virtual world. Alumni programs allow for token gifting, staking, or sponsorship of student-athletes. C. Educational Integration Blockchain and financial literacy integrated into curriculum. Real-world applications teach asset management, decentralized finance, and business ethics. 7. Implementation Roadmap Phase 1: Foundation & Governance Establish university blockchain infrastructure and Token Committee. Draft and audit smart contracts. Conduct pilot with select athletic programs. Phase 2: Launch & Distribution Distribute wallets to all student-athletes. Roll out tokens for merchandise and ticketing. Begin AI-driven performance tracking and token disbursement. Phase 3: Expansion & Interoperability Integrate with external exchanges for liquidity. Partner with local businesses for token acceptance. Enable inter-university token swaps (via cross-chain bridges). Phase 4: Education & Growth Introduce token-based entrepreneurship courses. Create blockchain innovation labs for student research. Expand token program to non-athlete students. 8. Engagement & National Economic Impact General Manager Merf Trout envisions a system where college athletics becomes the economic engine that reinvigorates American innovation. Every NCAA stadium could be equipped with interactive tablets or smart devices at each seat, allowing fans to engage in live predictive gameplay. Spectators would forecast outcomes of drives, quarters, or full games, earning additional team tokens for accuracy. These gamified interactions turn spectatorship into participatory entertainment while exponentially increasing token transaction volume every Saturday. Critics may argue that this digitized engagement distracts from the live atmosphere, but as Trout explains, participation remains a personal choice. The model empowers fans to decide their level of engagement while circulating new digital value within their favorite university’s ecosystem. By decentralizing sports gaming and shifting economic flow away from Las Vegas monopolies, college athletics could retain billions in annual revenue within its own blockchain-driven networks. To manage and regulate this massive digital marketplace, the NCAA could operate a national exchange for collegiate tokens, backed by the U.S. Government. This exchange would feature a transparent fee system, with small transaction fees contributing directly to the U.S. Treasury. In return, the government would receive airdrop distributions of each school’s tokens, effectively creating a new digital revenue stream that offsets the national deficit. Through a partnership of federal oversight and NCAA management, collegiate sports would evolve into a powerhouse of economic stabilization and technological advancement. By creating a federal collegiate exchange, the system aligns patriotic participation with fiscal responsibility. Americans could quite literally play a role in supporting their country by engaging in college athletics’ token ecosystems. The U.S. Treasury’s receipt of token airdrops from each institution establishes a direct correlation between athletic activity, blockchain growth, and national economic relief. As this network expands, quantum-resistant blockchain protocols would be essential to defend against cyberattacks. Replicating these resistant protocols on Bitcoin or similar chains would safeguard global crypto stability while legitimizing college tokens as secure, merit-based digital assets. With university-driven blockchain education programs, enrollment in blockchain and AI courses would skyrocket, transforming campuses into innovation hubs. In time, this ecosystem could evolve into immersive fantasy sports metaverses, where fans interact with digital versions of their favorite coaches, trade NFT collectibles, and participate in AI-driven sports simulations. ESPN College GameDay and other major networks could integrate these features for synchronized live coverage, creating an era where fan engagement, institutional revenue, and government solvency move in unison. The U.S. Government’s involvement, through exchange oversight and token airdrops, would not only stabilize the system but also legitimize the entire Web3 sports economy. Token transaction fees, exchange taxes, and secondary NFT royalties would generate consistent cash flow into the Treasury. This would represent a revolutionary public-private partnership — one capable of reducing the national debt while celebrating the unity and competition at the heart of collegiate athletics. 9. Risk Mitigation & Stability Regulatory Risk: Continuous compliance monitoring with legal advisors. Market Volatility: Token stability mechanisms and reserve fund. Security: Multi-signature wallets, audited smart contracts, and institutional custody solutions. Fairness: AI bias monitoring to ensure equitable compensation across all sports and genders. 10. Long-Term Impact Economic Equity: Democratized athlete compensation based on transparent, merit-based algorithms. Institutional Growth: Token economies attract alumni investors and global attention. Financial Literacy: Graduates enter professional life with blockchain and digital finance proficiency. Community Integration: Fans, athletes, and local partners operate within a shared value ecosystem. 11. Conclusion This framework transforms college sports into a transparent, sustainable, and educationally enriching ecosystem. Through blockchain, AI, and crypto innovation — championed by the vision of Merf Trout and the College Football Now initiative — universities can empower their athletes, engage their fans, and future-proof their athletic programs. By tokenizing value, we not only compensate athletes fairly but also educate the next generation of leaders in finance, technology, and social impact. COLLEGIATE ATHLETICS TOKENIZATIONCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS TOKENIZATION PROPOSAL Intro to University/College tokens whitepaper
Phase 0: Strategy & Governance Setup
Any proposal like this must carefully navigate several challenges:
The Vision or Dream
I HAD A DREAMBack in 2020, I had a dream of what college sports could be & Governor Kay Ivey was able to produce the legislation to move the ball forward on the future plans of collegiate athletics. COACH NICK SABAN SPEAKS TO CONGRESSThe legendary college football coach Nick Saban recently met with congress and was misconstrued as usual by many members of the corporate media. In short, Coach Saban stated that recruits were attending dinners and all they cared about was how much money they would be making by attending the prestigious University of Alabama. All in all, Coach Saban is seeking a fair model for distributing the “works” put in by the student-athletes that replicates throughout the concourse of their lives after football. In essence, “faith without action is dead” in a sense if there aren’t any building blocks in place for young men to grow through the collegiate athletics system. If the Universities combined their immense knowledge of block-chain technology & A.I and were able to blend that into a algorithmic program that not only paid every student-athlete fairly for their services, but also held them accountable in a way that is able to teach them the core concepts of education through constant refinement everyone would be in agreement on both sides of the aisle. The rules would stay the same for NIL agreements, you would just be implementing a more strategic approach to educating student-athletes while implementing the ultimate monetarily moral solution that doesn’t inhibit the ultimate growth of each individual. For instance, offensive linemen who blocked for higher priced NIL players were not compensated fairly according to what the quarterback and some receivers were able to rake in. This also assists in losing the concept of football being a “team sport” as no matter what occurrence takes place, this system is set up so that there will always be an injustice of some kind for the corporate media to weigh in on. Money in essence is faith based, as 7 members met back in the day to create the American Federal Reserve and our monetary system, thus, if the money being compensated is not producing considerable positive actions (individual growth) for the student-athlete than the money and athlete become complacent or "dead". These instances normally occur when athletes are overwhelmed with money heading into the NFL after many advisors attempt to point them in the proper direction, which helped lead to the once nearly 80% of NFL athletes going broke within three years of retirement.  THE EVOLUTION OF THE PROCESSBelow you will find the evolution of the process that started in 2019-2020 for Student-Athletes being paid! STUDENT ATHLETES GETTING PAID There has been an ongoing debate on whether student-athletes should be compensated for their skills and every bowl season, thousands of websites are created to sell teams merchandise. (Online Sales). Athletic departments lose revenue that could be streamlined to their athletic department directly, while also limiting themselves from maximal profits through licensing agreements. Bets are placed weekly for short & long term outcomes and gambling entities normally profit substantially off the stakes placed on games played by student-athletes, who play a major role in the growth of each university's economic system overtime (network growth). Many of those players leave universities riddled with everlasting injuries and are left paying for treatment that is far behind the scientific medical advancements used to treat recovering American football players (health insurance). Avid college football fans are constantly seeking engagement year around and many are seeking upgrades to the traditional CFB game-day experience, as well as enlightenment into their favorite teams incoming top football recruits, which keeps fan engagement throughout the course of the year (network impressions). There is an enormous gap between the value student-athletes provide to universities across the nation, compared to the compensation those student-athletes receive for their unique individual skill-sets and/or "Name/Likeness". These revenue streams are able to garner collegiate athletic programs very lucrative television deals, merchandising agreements, ticket/game-day sales and many more profitable ventures that create a robust financial ecosystem in college athletics. This dynamic negatively impacts both the student-athlete & universities finances in obvious and not so obvious ways, as there are many tools now available for student-athletes to earn a fully justifiable income, while also creating additional revenue streams that flow directly into the college athletic departments wallet. The student-athletes inability to produce sufficient funds for daily life needs, medical expenses post-graduation and the necessities needed to create their own businesses, drastically impacts the creation of the much needed additional revenue streams (content, appearances ect;) to pay student-athletes. In my opinion, this also stifles many student-athletes from reaching their optimal potential on the field of play and hinders them substantially when their playing careers come to an end. (The Real World) Creating financially stable business minded student-athletes, who are capable of driving profits through the creation of their own unique selling platforms (businesses) while on campus, will give them the capabilities to now operate their business post graduation successfully. This will not only benefit the student-athlete substantially, but drive the price and the universities network value even closer to the moon (raise the price of token). So in essence, each individual student-athlete now becomes responsible for not only creating income for the university while enrolled, but also will be able to increase these network effects as valued alumni (partners) of your establishment for the rest of their lives. This also inevitably creates more tokens circulating through your university of college tokens ecosystem, while also giving valued alumni who sacrificed their bodies for the universities athletic program an incentive to hold onto and market your universities CFBT token. For example, I heard Coach Nick Saban owns a bunch of car dealerships, so in essence these tokens could be utilized to purchase a car from the G.O.A.T and at any officially licensed CFBT token affiliate partner (alumni businesses). This would drastically increase the overall network value of each teams CFBT token, as well as the networks efficiency to keep all monetary gains in house. Alumni that were once considered as coaching candidates, could now run camps, coaching clinics and classes on how to make money as a student-athlete, all under each universities CFBT financial umbrella, which would further create the dynamics needed to possibly one day reach the moon. Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signs bill for Student-Athletes to be paid for their names, likeness and image. MOBILE, Ala. (WPMI) — The Governor of Alabama, Kay Ivey signed a bill into law on Tuesday to allow college athletes to make money off their names, likeness, and image. Mark Hudspeth, the Former University of Louisiana at Lafayette Head Football Coach, said for decades coaches and even colleges have racked up big salaries off student athletes’ hard work. Hudspeth whose now the head coach for Gulf Shores High School Football Team said it's players’ time to shine. “As coaches, we are able to tap into that resource and make money because of our images and likeness that we get to utilize. I think it's only fair to these student-athletes to get the same opportunities, it's the players time to shine." Key factors that will need to addressed Token should never be able to depreciate under one dollar and only rise from one dollar & up for student-athletes. This was accomplished on the ETH block-chain through the “Maker Token”, which was responsible for the creation of the stable coin “Dai”. I tend to look at it as the “Ryan Dai” token, because of its stability through some pretty intense fires in the cryptocurrency world. Simply put, when the world is burning all around us, your token is safe with the Ryan Dai. Setting up wallets - This is why the cryptocurrency system was created in the first place, so we can move money seamlessly with one click of some buttons across the world. Many investors look at tokens like Bitcoin as a “store of value”, but many others look at it as a means to process transactions and/or send finances quickly from peer to peer. This is very simple and I will provide a step by step guide on how to do this, as every student-athlete or member being compensated in tokens must have a wallet address to receive his or her tokens. Accurate data accumulation - The token or coins initial value will be generated by an algorithm that will need accurate data accumulated on the finances of each individual university. There is nothing to hide, the more money you bring in, the more your token will be deemed worth by the ETH block-chain of command. I am not sure if that is exactly what it is called, but it works like Google from noticing certain aspects of the RaeTokens network effects. There will be much data needed to formulate each tokens initial overall value, but this data will help advance the future outlook and projections on each CFB teams token. This will help give us a formidable starting point, which will give us the ability to track the overall network growth & health of each CFBT tokens ecosystem. Further elaboration on the CFBT Token recruiting advantages Former players, tech students and aspiring football scouts/recruiters, could potentially make up your recruiting department, as who better to know each CFB teams coaching philosophy and the role a player would need to fulfill rather then an athlete who played in that coaches system. This would not only decrease the recruiting budget, but keep CFBT recruiter tokens pumping year around. STUDENT ATHLETES GETTING PAID There has been an ongoing debate on whether student-athletes should be compensated for their skills and every bowl season, thousands of websites are created to sell teams merchandise. (Online Sales). Athletic departments lose revenue that could be streamlined to their athletic department directly, while also limiting themselves from maximal profits through licensing agreements. Bets are placed weekly for short & long term outcomes and gambling entities normally profit substantially off the stakes placed on games played by student-athletes, who play a major role in the growth of each university's economic system overtime (network growth). Many of those players leave universities riddled with everlasting injuries and are left paying for treatment that is far behind the scientific medical advancements used to treat recovering American football players (health insurance). Avid college football fans are constantly seeking engagement year around and many are seeking upgrades to the traditional CFB game-day experience, as well as enlightenment into their favorite teams incoming top football recruits, which keeps fan engagement throughout the course of the year (network impressions). CFB Token Utilization (Stage 1) Merchandising The CFB token can be used across the landscape of college football today and exchanged for each participating university's own unique CFB token. These tokens can only be used for officially licensed CFB merchandise from authorized vendors or directly from the CFB programs team shop. If a team's CFB token is used to purchase team merchandise from an unauthorized vendor, the transaction will be rejected and the universities licensing department will be notified immediately. Current license holders may be given options to extend their contracts with universities, by accepting partnered universities CFB token as a method of payment. Student-Athlete monetization Student-athletes will be encouraged and guided through the creation of setting up their own unique individual selling platforms, while adding to the value of each CFB programs ecosystem. These platforms' website domains should be linked to the universities official website, which will enable the tracking of revenue generated by each individual student-athlete accurately by the universities financial department. This begins to create the much needed revenue stream that will be paid to the student-athletes in each team's unique CFBT token, which will gain interest based on the total volume of CFBT tokens generated by each university's CFB program quarterly. This quarterly incentive will give student-athletes a long term investment opportunity in their universities athletic department, while also developing financial literacy throughout the educational process of learning how to manage their CFBT tokens responsibly. Upon graduation, student-athletes may cash out their teams CFBT tokens, convert their CFBT token to another cryptocurrency of choice or maintain their investment in their universities CFBT token. This alone will create dynamic business leaders in the future and eventually matriculate into financial savvy players throughout the pro football ranks. CFB Token Stakeholders CFBT token stakeholders in each teams unique CFBT token will be given exclusive discounts by utilizing each teams individual CFBT token, which may include tickets, luxury press box seating, concessions, meet & greets, custom fan apparel, interactive CFBT games and any incentive that produces a fully optimized fan experience that will create a constant flow of CFBT tokens into your university's CFBT ecosystem. Alumni of each institution are to be given the first opportunity to invest in their former college or universities CFB token, as this will start the formation of each participating CFBT programs CFBT token sub-committee. These primary stakeholders will be responsible for reporting analytical data and providing insight on each CFBT teams ecosystem regionally, while attending bi-weekly meetings in person or via video chat. The CFBT Token Committee highly recommends giving former coaches, players and staff the first chance to stake in their individual teams CFBT token, as they will play a vital role in the optimal growth of each conferences CFBT tokens ecosystem. The major initial stakeholders at each participating university will form the CFBT Token sub-committee and will provide pertinent localized data that will help advance the marketing network effects of each institutions tokens ecosystem. This data is to be collected using the S.T.E.P Google algorithmic direct marketing equation to enhance the overall fan experience and reach local businesses for student-athlete marketing opportunities, which are to be negotiated in each teams unique CFBT token only. At any given time, the recipient of any dispersal of CFBT tokens reserves the right to sell their asset if cash is needed or convert their earned CFBT tokens into another cryptocurrency on the exchange. This creates a highly competitive marketplace that will never have issues with supply and demand, as each participating CFBT program will be focused on increasing their overall network efficiency, while learning how to work cohesively to send their colleges CFBT token to the moon! Student utilization & Government aide conversions Students will be encouraged through incentive based programs to pay tuition, books, housing and meal plans through the utilization of the CFB token. Students that receive financial aid through the FAFSA report, will be encouraged to also transfer those funds to the universities CFB token, which will drive more liquidity into your universities CFB ecosystem. Athletic & Academic Scholarships All scholarships will be paid in CFB tokens in order to help increase overall volume in the market, while giving the students freedom to pay off tuition quarterly throughout the course of enrollment. This will allow student-athletes to accumulate more CFB tokens over time and gain more interest in the process, while also becoming more adept at helping to enhance the overall financial ecosystem at his or her university. Sports Gambling The CFB token committee will seek to form partnerships with legal gambling outlets, while giving sports betting services a chance to stake in the CFB token by accepting the CFB token as a form of payment. Participating sports gambling partners will be required to donate a small portion or "gas fee" back to each university of wages staked on any outcomes that are directly correlated to each individual CFB team. These main CFB tokens are to be converted to individual CFB teams tokens before the start of every CFB bowl season and dispersed to athletic departments nationally. Each cycle must document each individual player bet, like the Heisman Trophy odds and so on, while accumulating more CFB tokens into the universities CFB ecosystem. After the final assessment is formulated by an outside financial consultant, 10% of gross profits is to be distributed to each CFB programs injury recovery fund. The IRF token will be introduced as the CFB tokens ecosystem evolves and will include many medical advancements that are much needed to enhance the overall treatment of recovering student-athletes that contributed to the universities financial gains over the duration of his or her enrollment. After the phase two "roll-out stage", new tokens could potentially be generated for interactive online CFB games for participating gambling partners only, which would in essence be the CFB token giving back for not only accepting our form of payment, but also for assisting in the evolving growth of each individual CFB teams ecosystem. This could actually incline more fans to enter the gambling market, as they essentially would be providing for their favorite CFB players future on and off the field. The CFB Token Committee The CFB Token Committee will be responsible for the maintenance and overall health of the CFB Tokens ecosystem, while creating new and innovative ways to grow each universities CFB tokens overall value. The CFB Token Committee will submit these new enhancements to each participating universities athletic department and update them weekly on the advancement of future projects. The CFB Token Committee would seek council from the CFB Playoff committee, highly regarded media analysts & generate a non-biased fan polling method to contribute to the overall advancement of the CFB Token "Stage 2" roll-out phase. Coaching Staff Incentives Coaching staff salaries would be dispersed to their individual wallets every two weeks. Each coaches contract will feature performance based incentive clauses that produce bonus CFB tokens for high graduation rates, winning percentages, conference championships, bowl game bids and a chance to compete for the CFB Token Committee Playoff pot, which will be dispersed directly to each national champions athletic departments CFB token ecosystem (wallet). Assistant coaches will be graded on each of their position groups overall graduation success rate, as well as performance on the field of play and awarded CFB Token bonuses, which will vary depending on the overall health of each collegiate football programs CFB token ecosystem. The CFB Token committee will provide national and global feedback for public relations purposes, as catering to the needs of each individual participating CFB programs fan bases is vital for optimal overall growth of the CFB Token. There are many more ways to implement a cryptocurrency into college athletics that would eliminate many issues that were brought to the forefront during the Covid-19 pandemic. This is just the rough draft and things can be molded in many different directions, which is why I believe this could potentially create the most competitive & results driven CFB atmosphere the world has ever witnessed. The main objective of College Football Today or "CFB tokenomics", would ideally be to create a learning environment where students are earning income for duties or tasks performed that are able to create liquidity into each CFB teams uniquely identifiable CFB token. This not only creates a race to win the CFB national championship, but also can assist everyday students in earning CFB tokens by creating new technologies that generate more volume to the college or universities CFB token ecosystem. CFB Content Creator Token Accumulation Methods (coming soon) The CFB Today Token system was developed by Scout Trout through the course of learning the intricacies of the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency from being compensated in RaeTokens by RokFin! After Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed legislation for Alabama collegiate athletes to get paid for the Name, Image & Likeness! The NCAA announced it will begin talks on how student-athletes will be getting paid for their contributions to the universities financial ecosystem in the next month. In my opinion, unionizing college athletics would be the end to many universities college football teams, simply due to the fact of attorneys attempting to formulate class action lawsuits through manipulation of the player unions. It is not that I do not trust these brilliant young minds that formed these player unions to do what's right, but I believe that there are much better solutions that will begin to take shape in the very near future. Check out the new CFB Today Season II podcast on the breaking news announced by the NCAA, that will start the transformation process of bringing equality and create a dynamic learning environment by clicking the image below. Read the opening to the formula that was derived through the utilization and ever evolving Scout Trout Elite S.T.E.P ratings algorithmic equation, that exemplifies the overall team building philosophy needed to generate revenue for hard working student-athletes & teaches them financial literacy in the process of molding them into successful young businessmen.

He is extremely well spoken, humble and his determination and work ethic is truly inspiring, as Hines was able to rise late in the recruiting process by developing consistent training habits that inevitably led to him putting on 30 pounds of muscle from his junior season to the start of his senior campaign. Hines is not the flashiest of prospects when it comes to celebratory gestures as he truly loves the game of American football and will do anything to help his team to achieve victory in the process that leads to the transformation needed to dominate in the world of collegiate athletics. If I was a collegiate football program that needed a rover type high octane OLB or SS that can buzz around the field and impose his will, I would look no further than Jaelin Hines and in our 2023 All-American Linebackers scouting database!  2023 All-American LB Jaelin Hines Class of 2023 Tom Glenn HS (TX) 6'0", 205 GPA - 3.4 CFB NOW 2023 TOP 1000+ FB RECRUIT All-American notes - New 2023 All-American LB Jaelin Hines is one of the most brutalizing & ferocious tacklers in the 2023 football recruiting class and proves to be able to diagnose the offenses schematics instinctively, while possessing the athletic capabilities to rapidly track ball carriers down from sideline to sideline. His outstanding hip flex flexion and mobility give him the capability to quickly sink into zone coverage, as he is one of the more fluent linebackers nationally in pass defense. Jaelin is excellent at picking up running backs coming out of the backfield on route combinations and takes excellent angles of pursuit when bursting to the ball to break up would be pass attempts. Hines was able to pack on 30 pounds since his junior season and has demonstrated the physicality & high motor needed to become a dominating linebacker at the collegiate level. 2023 HS ALL-AMERICAN LB LIVE INTERVIEW 40 yard dash - 4.7 5-10-5 shuttle - 4.42 Bench press - 285 (MAX) Squat - 460 (MAX) Dead-lift - 450 (MAX) Vertical leap - 33" CFB offers - Dean College CFB programs showing interest - Southern Nazarene, Arkansas-Monticello, West Texas A&M, Texas A&M - Commerce, Wagner, McPherson & Dartmouth 2023 HS FOOTBALL ALL-AMERICAN TOP 2023 FOOTBALL RECRUIT Follow 2023 All-American LB Jaelin Hines on Twitter! 2023 ALL-AMERICAN LB MALCOLM MCCAIN 2023 All-American LB Malcolm McCain was a destructive force of nature on the defensive side of the football for Brockwood HS football in Georgia and was able to accumulate 106 total tackles, as well as 4 sacks during his junior campaign. The 2023 College Football Today & ESPN Plus All-American LB has helped lead Brockwood to a 9 & 2 record, while establishing himself as one of the premiere play-makers in the talent-rich State of Georgia. McCain is a dominating force when coming downhill in various blitz packages and is able to pummel any lead blocker in his path, while possessing the uncanny athletic attributes and instincts that only the best linebackers in the game of American football exhibit. Malcolm is extremely quick when penetrating the opposing teams backfield and evokes mayhem upon arrival at the opposing team's QB, while demonstrating elite tackling abilities in the process. His hip fluidity when dropping into coverage and changing directions is extremely smooth and decisive, as he has tremendous ball skills when reading plays in the passing game and is able to break on the ball quickly to disrupt passes. McCain’s quickness laterally is highly impressive and he is able to cover a vast amount of space when tracking down ball carriers, as he exudes all of the characteristics of an elite 2023 All-American LB recruit at College Football Today. McCain is one of the best in the nation at avoiding oncoming blockers to quickly knife his way into the backfield to wreak havoc on opposing offenses and will look to lead Brockwood deep into the Georgia HS Football State Playoffs with his brilliant skill-set that Boston College, Duke, Wake Forest, Central Florida, Lehigh, Georgia Tech, Georgia, Vanderbilt & Mercer have already taken notice of in the recruiting process. Freshmen year scouting notes - New Top 2023 LB/RB Malcolm McCain is an extremely athletic hybrid LB recruit out of Brockwood HS in Georgia and is one of the most feared pass rushers in the class of 2023. McCain covers ground extremely fast when tracking down ball carriers and is one of the quickest I have seen in 2023 coming off the edge.

TOP 2023 DUAL-THREAT QB RECRUIT
Top 2023 Dual-Threat QB recruit Dylan Burdine had a stellar junior campaign behind center of the East Ridge HS offense and his innate ability to deliver accurate strikes down the field while avoiding immense pressure in the pocket will be highly productive at the next level. Dylan is very fleet of foot in the pocket and has excellent body weight transitioning when uncorking the long ball to hit his receivers over the top of the defense. He appears to have a 6th sense when the pocket is collapsing and is able to quickly work to the open part of the field to create plays in the passing game. Burdine also demonstrated the dual-threat capabilities needed to grind out tough yards in the option game with his 4.6, 40 yard dash speed and he also proved to be highly accurate in the short to intermediate passing game. New Top 2023 Dual-Threat QB recruit Dylan Burdine also exhibited tremendous touch when dropping the ball over the top of the defense and was able to complete extremely difficult off-platform passes when under duress. Top 2023 Dual-Threat QB recruit Dylan Burdine is being added to the College Football Today & ESPN Plus 2023 Top QB Recruit Rankings as he will be a high impact offensive weapon in any collegiate style offense.
