Can I use this if I'm transferring to South Alabama?

Yes. Set school to University of South Alabama, conference Sun Belt, division G5. That's how we price inbound portal football — destination market, not the school you're leaving.

Do high school recruits committed to South Alabama get an NIL estimate?

Yes. Choose class year HS, enter recruiting stars, and pick South Alabama as the committed/projected school. Active 4-star and 5-star recruits have a $400k expected-NIL floor; everyone else is priced on projection plus the Sun Belt market.
