Behind the Blueprint: Steve Bailoni, Director of High School Scouting, Tennessee Tech

On the next episode of Behind the Blueprint, I sit down with Steve Bailoni to discuss the differences in recruiting and evaluation between Power 4 and FCS football programs. Steve shares how schools balance high school recruiting with transfer portal strategy, and why competitive toughness is a key trait he looks for in prospects. He also gives a behind-the-scenes look at how alignment, trust, and communication within a staff drive long-term success.
