On this episode of Behind the Blueprint, I sit down with North Texas Assistant General Manager/Director of Scouting.
Jarae Thurmond to explore what really goes into building a college football roster in today’s rapidly changing landscape. We discuss why relationships matter more than recruiting rankings, how he evaluates prospects beyond the highlight tape, the role analytics and NIL play in modern roster management, and why the work that wins on Saturdays actually happens long before kickoff.
