🎙️ This Week on DingoTalk:
From the dorm room to one of the loudest voices in small-college football media — Kobe Manzo, founder and host of D1 Rejects, joins the show!

We talk about:
🏈 The origin story of D1 Rejects and how it grew from an idea to a recognized brand
🎧 The grind of producing content while playing college ball
📱 Building a small-school media movement in the NIL and social era
🔥 What’s next for D1R — from partnerships to expanding coverage
If you love D3, D2, or NAIA football — or just believe in giving the “small-school guy” a big-time voice — this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
