Behind the Blueprint: Joshua McDade, Director of Player Personnel, Prairie View A&M University

from Behind the Blueprint: The Architects of College Football

On this episode of Behind the Blueprint, I sit down with Prairie View A&M Director of Player Personnel, Josh McDade, to talk about his journey from Division III player to building and leading a player personnel department. We dive into how his playing and coaching background shapes his approach to evaluation, the importance of relationships in recruiting, and how Prairie View’s “Blueprint” defines the program’s culture and process. Josh also shares how JUCO and transfer recruiting fit into their strategy, the growing role of analytics, and what fans don’t see behind the scenes of building a college football roster.
