About Us
Our Expertise
Most families are navigating recruiting and NIL without a real strategy — and that mistake can cost athletes opportunities, exposure, and scholarships.
My name is Coach Marcus Martin, Safeties Coach and Recruiting Coordinator for one of the nation’s elite football programs and Director of Recruiting, Brand Alignment, and Athlete Relations with 9091 Sports Agency.
I created The NIL Pipeline so parents and athletes could connect with me directly, follow my guidance more easily, and gain access to real recruiting, branding, exposure, and NIL strategy built for today’s game.
Talent alone is no longer enough.
Positioning matters. Branding matters. Relationships matter. Strategy matters.
The NIL Pipeline was built to help athletes and families avoid costly mistakes and navigate this new era professionally, strategically, and with purpose.
