The Opportunity
The Last Untapped Lane
in College Football.

The 7v7 circuit turned skill players into brands. Offensive and defensive linemen — the athletes every championship is built on — were left without a stage. Trench Gorillas 5v5 changes that permanently.

🏈

Untapped Market

The 7v7 industry generates tens of millions annually. Trench Gorillas 5v5 is the first dedicated trench-only format — zero real competition in this lane.

📺

Media & TV Trajectory

7v7 went from local tournaments to ESPN coverage. Trench Gorillas 5v5 is positioned for the same path — with a storyline networks haven't seen yet.

🎓

College Pipeline

18+ college programs represented on the current roster — SEC, Big Ten, ACC, Big 12, MAC. Coaches are watching. Scouts are watching. Your brand is in the room.

🏆

Proven NFL Pipeline

4 active NFL players developed through this system. That's not a projection — that's a track record brands can point to.

📱

Content Engine

Trench Gorilla Media produces film breakdowns, recruiting graphics, and athlete content year-round. Your brand is embedded in every piece.

🤝

NIL Integration

Athletes at every level — from MAC to SEC — available for co-branded NIL activations. Real names, real faces, real reach.

Where the Money Goes
Real Costs.
Real Athletes.

Every dollar goes directly to athlete access and development. Full per-athlete breakdown per tournament — no mystery, no overhead padding.

Airfare (round trips × tournament)$1,200–$1,800
Hotel accommodations$900–$1,200
Ground transportation$400–$600
Meals during travel weeks$600–$800
Uniforms and apparel$500–$800
Event registration fees$400–$800
Total Per Athlete / Tournament$5,000–$7,000
4 Tournaments / Full Season$20,000–$28,000

The Bigger Picture

A 20-athlete roster across 4 tournaments costs $400,000–$560,000 for a full season. Without sponsorships and donations, that falls entirely on families — pricing out athletes based on zip code, not talent. Your investment levels that field.
