Should Auburn Football use UCF player marketing strategies?
UCF is revolutionizing how to market its players and earn them NIL money.
The Knights are making billboards to show off some of their players around the city.
This is really smart for UCF since when you are a 17 or 18-year-old high school recruit, those kinds of things get you excited.
UCF even put QR codes on the backs of their spring game jerseys so the fans could scan them to find their social media accounts. These kinds of things are ingenious from a marketing perspective for recruiting.
Players always want to play for the program that has the next best thing, and UCF is getting ahead of the competition with this.
If Auburn were to start putting up billboards for their players, who from Auburn's current roster would get one?

Currently, UCF is the only team doing this, and there has been no sign that Auburn is interested in following in their footsteps.
It does seem like if Auburn were to start doing these different kinds of things to brand their players and program, it would go a long way in recruiting.
