The Struggle and Success With NIL ft. Rayquan Smith

August 14, 2024

In Episode 10, Kendyl Terrell is joined by Virginia State football player Rayquan Smith aka the King of NIL.


Rayquan started his college journey at Norfolk State, where he strategically landed nearly 100 NIL deals. He's now at Virginia State, continuing to grow his brand and land deals. It's important for him to help others achieve success in this realm, so he shares his advice for how to get brands' attention. He's also taking things to another level by building a marketplace platform, SponsorPro, so that student athletes from smaller schools or overlooked sports can have a chance at maximizing their NIL.


One thing is for sure -- when you talk about Name, Image, and Likeness, Rayquan's name needs to be in the conversation.
