It is about staying prepared, thinking ahead, and helping others succeed. Now he is taking that mindset off the field with NxtSzn, a platform designed to help collegiate athletes navigate the transition from sports to careers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"685\" data-end=\"984\">Originally from Kansas City, Missouri, Jett is a UND football safety pursuing his MBA with a concentration in Data and Analytics. Alongside academics and athletics, he co-founded NxtSzn to provide student-athletes with the tools and guidance needed to launch their careers once college sports end.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1991\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/cobpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/04\/jettsuttonheadshot-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"445\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/cobpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/04\/jettsuttonheadshot-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/cobpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/04\/jettsuttonheadshot-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/cobpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/04\/jettsuttonheadshot.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 445px) 100vw, 445px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"280\" data-end=\"611\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: 'Trade Gothic', 'Oswald Medium', Oswald, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 1.25rem;letter-spacing: 1.25px\">Building NxtSzn<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1009\" data-end=\"1501\">The idea for NxtSzn came from Jett\u2019s own experiences and conversations with teammates. He noticed that while many college graduates were finding jobs and internships quickly, student-athletes often faced longer timelines and fewer opportunities. To confirm this, he surveyed 100 recent or soon-to-be UND graduates across all sports. The results highlighted a clear gap. Fewer athletes had completed internships or secured post-graduate positions quickly compared to their non-athlete peers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1845\">This insight led to the first version of NxtSzn. Jett and his partner worked to refine the concept through direct feedback from student-athletes, building a platform centered on real needs. Today, NxtSzn allows student-athletes to build resumes, connect with alumni, and access career opportunities in one centralized location.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1713\" data-end=\"1860\">A Unique Perspective<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1875\" data-end=\"2110\">Jett\u2019s experience as a student-athlete has played a critical role in shaping how he approaches the platform. Balancing practice, travel, competition, and academics has given him a clear understanding of the challenges his peers face.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2112\" data-end=\"2266\">\u201cStudent-athletes live an abnormal schedule,\u201d he said. \u201cYou are constantly juggling practice, travel, competition, recovery, and academics all at once.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2268\" data-end=\"2688\">Most athletes are not skipping networking events or ignoring their resumes because they do not care. They are doing it because they are exhausted and stretched thin, and the resources available to them are often built for students with a completely different reality. That gap is something you can speak to with real credibility, and it shapes the way you think about what tools and support actually make a difference.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1743\" data-end=\"1943\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: 'Trade Gothic', 'Oswald Medium', Oswald, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 1.25rem;letter-spacing: 1.25px\">The Role of Nistler<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1429\">Jett credits his experience at Nistler College for playing a key role in turning NxtSzn from an idea into a working platform.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1431\" data-end=\"1853\">\u201cThe mentorship program through Nistler (Pancratz) gave me a clear blueprint for how a similar program should be structured and what that looks like in practice. I was able to learn so much from the people around me, whether it was professors willing to have real conversations outside of class or peers building their own projects. Those relationships ended up being just as valuable as the coursework itself,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1855\" data-end=\"2148\">Through programs like the Pancratz Mentor Program and access to engaged faculty, Jett was able to apply what he was learning in real time. The collaborative environment at Nistler encouraged him to test ideas, ask questions, and refine his approach with input from both professors and peers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2150\" data-end=\"2409\">His coursework has also played a direct role in shaping how he approaches NxtSzn. With a strong foundation in business principles and exposure to multiple areas of study, he is able to think more strategically about growth, operations, and long-term impact.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1989 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/cobpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/04\/nxtsznlogo-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"376\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/cobpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/04\/nxtsznlogo-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/cobpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/04\/nxtsznlogo-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/cobpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2026\/04\/nxtsznlogo.png 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 376px) 100vw, 376px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2648\" data-end=\"2759\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: 'Trade Gothic', 'Oswald Medium', Oswald, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 1.25rem;letter-spacing: 1.25px\">Looking Ahead<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3557\" data-end=\"3845\">As NxtSzn continues to develop, Jett\u2019s focus remains on building a strong foundation at UND before expanding to other universities and athletic programs. The goal is to create a model that effectively supports student-athletes in their career development and can be replicated at scale.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3847\" data-end=\"4124\">\u201cIdeally we do. We are currently focused on building as strong of a connection for our own alumni and employers here at UND and then will look to expand to other athletic departments that are looking to support their own student-athletes through career development,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4126\" data-end=\"4262\">The platform is already active, with plans to expand beyond its pilot phase and reach a wider audience of student-athletes and alumni.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3347\" data-end=\"3633\"><span style=\"color: #000000;font-family: 'Trade Gothic', 'Oswald Medium', Oswald, Arial, sans-serif;font-size: 1.25rem;letter-spacing: 1.25px\">Advice for Student-Athletes<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1464 alignright\" style=\"margin-top: 3.5rem;margin-bottom: 3.5rem\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/cobpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/11\/IMG_6727-300x298.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"417\" height=\"414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/cobpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/11\/IMG_6727-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/cobpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/11\/IMG_6727-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.und.edu\/cobpa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/11\/IMG_6727.jpg 588w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 417px) 100vw, 417px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4299\" data-end=\"4433\">For student-athletes interested in pursuing their own ideas or ventures, Jett emphasizes the importance of focus and sustainability.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4435\" data-end=\"4541\">\u201cPick one idea and go deep on it. Spreading yourself too thin usually means finishing nothing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4543\" data-end=\"4956\">He also encourages athletes to take advantage of their unique skill set. \u201cThe best part is that the skills you have developed through sports, the discipline, the coachability, and the ability to perform under pressure, will carry over in ways you might not expect. Most people in business have never pushed through the kind of intensity you deal with regularly, and that experience gives you a definitive edge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4958\" data-end=\"5408\">Most importantly, he stresses the value of surrounding yourself with the right people. \u201cSurround yourself with people who bring different strengths to the table, and find a mentor who has already walked the path you are on. The right person in your corner can help you avoid mistakes that would otherwise cost you months of progress. And when things do go wrong, treat it like a bad practice. It hurts, you learn from it, and you move on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5410\" data-end=\"5659\">Jett Sutton\u2019s journey reflects the evolving role of student-athletes, not just as competitors, but as innovators and leaders.
