Prairie View A&M head coach Tremaine Jackson does not mess around when it comes to the transfer portal in college football. He gives any prospective additions to his program only four hours to respond.
If they do not follow him back on social media within that timeframe, they are out.
It is refreshing to see a college football coach tell it how it is. Follow his rules or get lost!
Prairie View A&M is on the come up.
The Panthers finished as the top-ranked team in the Southwestern Athletic Conference this season. They fell just two points short of an HBCU National Championship in overtime.
It was a historic 10-win season for Prairie View A&M. It had not won more than seven games since 2015.
At the forefront of success is first-year head coach Tremaine Jackson. The 42-year-old was hired during the offseason after stints at Colorado Mesa and Valdosta State. He has an all-time record of 50-16.
For the Panthers to go from 5-7 in 2024 to 10-4 (7-1 SWAC) is a testament to who he is and what he does. He wins.
Tremaine Jackson has a very strict policy for the college football transfer portal.
As you could imagine, the desire to play for Prairie View A&M has increased infinitely since Jackson was hired and this will be his first full offseason with the program. He must now turn his attention to the transfer portal, which officially opens on Jan. 2.
There are two sides to the portal. Some players will leave. Others will be added.
On the front end, Jackson wants to make sure his current roster does not follow false promises to a greener pasture that is not actually green. He wants the truth.
On the back end, Tremaine Jackson wants prospective portal additions to move quickly and respectfully. His ‘Panther Portal Understanding’ lays out his expectations in five specific guidelines.
- When I follow you, there’s a 4 hour window to follow back or we’re done.
- Send your phone number, transcripts and Hilite in the first message!
- Make sure you address my staff as “Coach” and not “Bro” or by First/Last Name!
- Don’t ask me for NIL (which we do have) when PFF has you taking less than 150 snaps on the year on offense/defense or didn’t play at all. You should’ve gotten your money from the FBS, now its time to play!!
- Pray, talk to your family, gf, dog and any other people before we offer your, not after you take 80 visits! I’m going to want to know ASAP!!
Jackson also reminded the athletes of his success from year one.
