About Us
TRS Athletics was founded on the belief that every athlete deserves a chance to benefit from their hard work, not just the stars at big-name programs. The NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) era has transformed opportunities in college sports, but much of the attention and money has been concentrated at Division I schools and men’s sports. That left thousands of athletes — especially in D2, D3, and women’s programs — overlooked. As a student who saw firsthand how talented athletes struggled to find opportunities, I wanted to change the game. TRS Athletics was born to bridge the gap: helping athletes of all sports and levels connect with brands, build their personal brand, and get rewarded for the dedication they bring to the field, court, or track. Our mission is simple: empower athletes, give brands authentic voices, and help schools stand out by offering true NIL support. TRS Athletics isn’t just about deals — it’s about creating a platform where every athlete’s story can shine.
Our Goal
The main goal of TRS Athletics is to make NIL opportunities accessible to all athletes — not just the stars at powerhouse programs. We want to empower student-athletes to earn from their hard work, build their personal brands, and prepare for life beyond sports. By connecting athletes with brands and guiding schools in offering NIL support, we aim to create an ecosystem where every athlete has a fair shot at recognition and opportunity. We want to change the way athletes and local businesses work together. Instead of NIL being limited to big national campaigns, TRS Athletics helps small and mid-sized businesses connect with athletes in their own communities. This means more athletes can earn, more businesses can grow, and schools can recruit by showing they support their athletes both on and off the field. Our impact is not only financial but cultural — we’re helping athletes see their value, helping schools strengthen their programs, and helping communities rally behind their teams in new ways.
Why Choose Us
Most NIL agencies and sports marketing groups focus only on high-profile athletes at large Division I programs. TRS Athletics is different because we specialize in supporting all athletes — from Division II and III programs to women’s and Olympic sports — who are often overlooked in the NIL space. We don’t just chase big contracts; we build opportunities where none existed before, connecting athletes with both national and local brands while making NIL accessible, transparent, and sustainable.Our philosophy is that NIL isn’t just about making money today — it’s about teaching athletes how to market themselves, build a personal brand, and develop lifelong skills in communication, professionalism, and entrepreneurship. We treat every NIL opportunity as both a deal and a lesson. Athletes learn how to leverage social media, represent brands authentically, and grow their influence in ways that prepare them for careers on or off the field. In short, we’re not just creating athletes who do NIL — we’re creating athletes who understand NIL.
