Buck Fitzgerald, founder of National Playmakers Academy, and Curtis Blackwell, founder of Sound Mind Sound Body, have merged forces to construct the Supermax 100, a national platform of the top 100 high-performing student-athletes. Elite players of the national collective stretch across America. Each athlete will obtain significant access to a nationwide network focused on exclusive training, brand development, and media exposure for all phases of the athletic arena.

“Our ultimate goal is to ensure our young men get more opportunities for college recruitment. We want to equip any kid who wants to enter the transfer portal with the tools needed to position themselves with the best transfer portal options if that becomes their reality, as well as NIL opportunities,” shared Curtis Blackwell. All athletes will gain skillful experience through participating in nationally hosted events, exposure through the Supermax podcast and docuseries, courses in recruiting, and direct access to professionals trained to protect and assist in navigating the world of college athletics.

“The importance of bringing a collective of talents from all regions is to enhance their brand and games on the field,” shared Buck Fitzgerald. The Supermax 100 will mark its debut at the Midwest Invitational at Ford Field on Dec. 26-27 in conjunction with the Quicklane Bowl. Powered by SuckerPunch Gourmet, the Midwest Invitational will feature a college bowl game, combine testing, skill drills, career education, a live stream 7-on-7 tournament, a promo shoot, media training, and NIL Academy.
