Tennessee State football NIL.
Tennessee State is a Big South program in the FCS football NIL market. If you're leaving Tennessee State for the portal, the number that matters is what the next FCS roster will pay a football player with your snaps and production, not last year's Tennessee State depth chart. High school recruits committed to Tennessee State should run an estimate before signing day. Active 4-star football recruits have a $400,000 expected-NIL floor on TransferMetrics; 3-stars are priced on projection and the Big South market.
Indicative FCS band: $2,000 – $80,000. Not a published Tennessee State contract — a market range before you enter stats.
