Our Story

Who We Are

We are former high school athletes, who have a strong passion for sports. Both are graduates from the University of Georgia. We both have experience working in collegiate and professional sports. Jayan spent 4 years working for the University of Georgia football team, where he spent time in Equipment and Operations. KD began by developing an N.I.L. partnering database, and then spent time working for the NBA ACP player data analytics department. He then spent time as a sports management intern for Endeavor Sports Entertainment Groups. Last year he gained valuable experience being a developmental and strategic intern for PLLAY labs while simultaneously being a Data Analytics intern for DraftKings. We are two eager young men with a passion for sports, and a hunger for evolving the sports industry to its’ maximum potential through networking and partnering with collegiate athletes nationwide.

As we graduated college, we discovered that the world of collegiate sports and youth sports is drastically changing. We wanted to find a way to bridge the two together. Through this idea, we are able to connect youth athletes to their favorite collegiate athletes. We are able to accomplish this by empowering the collegiate athletes to have a platform to showcase their distinct talents that can be a model for the youth children who want to grow up to be just like them.
