Volquest’s Take
Tennessee was Telander’s first offer, and it turned out to be the one that mattered. The Vols beat out Florida, Louisville and North Carolina for the high-ceiling Peach state prospect. Telander is admittedly raw in certain aspects of his game, but after transferring to Gainesville and playing for Head Coach Josh Niblett, his week-over-week development was evident. The people around the Gainesville program rave about him.
Telander is a natural athlete with high football IQ. His father, a one-time Division 1 linebacker coach, has certainly helped on that front. Telander possesses the necessary tools to become a solid collegiate linebacker. He was an early evaluation for the Tennessee staff that ultimately paid off in the end. He is a sideline to sideline thumper that is just now starting to tap into his full potential.

About On3 NIL Valuation
A proprietary algorithm, the On3 NIL Valuation establishes the overall NIL market and projected 12-month growth rate by measuring two categories, Brand Value Index and Roster Value Index.
The Brand Value Index measures the national licensing and sponsorship market. The Roster Value Index collects data from all school Collectives into a proprietary Roster Management software. Brand Value and Roster Value are combined to create the overall NIL market.
Using the overall NIL market size, the On3 NIL Valuation calculates an athlete’s Brand Value and Roster Value by using dynamic data points targeting three primary categories:
+ Performance
+ Influence
+ Exposure
While the algorithm includes deal data, it does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals athletes have completed to date, nor does it set an athlete’s NIL valuation for their entire career. The On3 NIL Valuation calculates the optimized NIL opportunity for athletes relative to the overall NIL market and projects out to as long as 12 months into the future.
The On3 NIL Valuation is publicly available. Performance, Influence, and Exposure ratings along with the athlete’s personal Brand Value Index and Roster Value Index are available only to the athlete in the “Athlete Verified” private dashboard on the On3 Athlete Network.
