The Nick Bartlett Show continues with another college football expert.
In this episode, I sit down with former Arizona State safety Rodney Cox, the owner of Empower Gametime Collegiate Recruiting & Consulting.
We discuss Cox’s playing days, the college football landscape, and his current role as a college scout and recruiting consultant.
He talks about how NIL, the transfer portal, and conference realignment impact the decision-making of high school prospects as they seek the right college fit.
Cox also contrasts his experience with the Sun Devils (2004-2008) in the former Pac-10 with that of a typical recruit and college player in 2024.
