FAQ
Absolutely. With me, you’re not just signing a deal you’re building a relationship. I’ve played at the college level, I’ve been through the transfer portal, and I know firsthand how this is a business. But I also know it’s bigger than that. With my agency, you’re not just getting a representative; you’re getting a teammate who becomes family. Our relationship doesn’t stop when the season ends or when your career is over it’s built to last a lifetime.
Of course, I’m going to do everything in my power to help you maximize your ability and reach the NFL that’s the dream, and I’ll push with you all the way. But while you have this platform that only 1% of athletes ever get, my job is to help you take full advantage of every area possible: NIL (Name, Image, Likeness), networking, financial planning, branding, and life after sports. That way, we don’t leave anything on the table, and you’re set up for success no matter what.
Preparation is everything. I help you with the details most athletes overlook—how you carry yourself on and off the field, how you use NIL to get noticed, and how to build a brand teams want to invest in. From workouts to interviews, I’ll make sure you’re ready for every step of the process.
My network is deep. Some of my closest friends are already in the NFL, and I’ve built strong relationships with people who know exactly what it takes to get there. You’re not just getting my experience you’re getting access to a whole circle of athletes, coaches, and professionals who can open doors for you.
I’ve been in the transfer portal, I’ve lived the reality of picking the wrong spot, and I know how important this decision is. It’s not just about chasing the biggest bag. It’s about balance:
– A coaching staff that believes in you.
– A real opportunity to play early.
– A program that will help you grow on and off the field.
And yes, a place where you can earn through NIL in the right way.
I’ll give you real-life stats, real insight into what financial situations actually look like, and the reality behind “car-wash” promises some schools throw around. You’ll have my experience to guide you into a situation that fits your goals—not just someone else’s agenda.4. What’s the value of your network?
Yes. NIL money and endorsements are taxable. I’ll help you get ahead of it by connecting you with professionals who understand the athlete space, so you’re protected when tax season comes.
Your uniqueness is your power. We’ll build a plan that highlights your brand, values, and story. Companies want athletes who are authentic and who stand for something beyond the game—that’s how you stand out and create longevity.
I’ve seen how quickly money can slip away if there’s no plan. That won’t be you. I’ll make sure you’re connected to trusted financial experts who can teach you how to invest in real estate, stocks, retirement accounts, and more. The goal: build wealth that lasts.
NIL is bigger than quick cash or free stuff it’s about building relationships and a professional reputation that carry over into pro contracts, business ventures, and life after football. Used right, it’s a launchpad.
You’re in a position most people dream about. You’ve got a spotlight, a platform, and connections built into your college experience. I’ll help you leverage those opportunities into something bigger whether that’s internships, community projects, or partnerships that last beyond your playing days.
My mission is simple: when you leave the game, you leave it better than you entered. That means financially stable, mentally sharp, and professionally prepared. I want you to have options, freedom, and a legacy—not regrets. With me, you’re not just building a career, you’re building a future that lasts a lifetime.
When your child goes off to school, they’ll be facing new experiences on and off the field—some of the same challenges I went through myself. I know that sometimes athletes don’t always feel comfortable confiding in their parents, but they will with someone who’s walked the same path. That shared experience builds a level of trust and connection you can’t fake. On top of that, I’m available around the clock. Whether it’s a recruiting decision, a tough practice, or a late-night call before game day, I’ll be there. I’m not just here for contracts—I’m here as a mentor, a support system, and a teammate for life.
