College Football Insider Names 1 SEC Team to ‘Watch Out For’ as Future NIL Monster

Multiple teams across the nation have used the NIL to their advantage to build powerhouse programs. However, it sounds like some schools are taking a more strategic route with the NIL before using it to its full extent. If that’s the case we could have some future players challenging the top schools in the nation down the road.

During a guest visit on The Next Round, Brandon Marcello of CBS Sports and 247 Sports claims that the Auburn Tigers are a team to “watch out for” in terms of making future NIL deals. Hugh Freeze and the Tigers are reportedly not using all of the available NIL money now to eventually use it later.

The reason is that Auburn wants to reel in high school players and develop them. Once those players are more developed, Marcello claims we could see the Tigers become much more aggressive in the transfer portal to complement the roster.
