The Blue & Gold Officer plays a specific role in the recruited athlete's USNA admissions process. The BGO counsels and assists recruited athletes in:
- Learning about the academic life at USNA.
- Completing their Required Application Documents.
- Obtaining a nomination.
- Contact or speak with the recruited directly regarding USNA athletics - rather refer them to the appropriate coach.
- Recruit the athlete for a USNA athletic team.
- Visit the prospect’s school to pick up film, evaluate a prospective student-athlete’s athletic ability or pick up transcripts.
- Offer what NCAA calls “extra benefits."
- Conduct a BGO interview unless specifically told to do so by the Candidate Guidance Office.
