Protection You Can't Get Anywhere Else

While other agents chase commissions, we're building careers. From your first NIL deal through the pros, every move is strategic, protected, and designed for long-term success.

Contract Review & Negotiation

Every agreement professionally reviewed before you sign. We look for predatory clauses, unfair terms, and hidden traps that could cost you thousands. You'll never sign something you don't fully understand.

Long-Term Brand Building

Anyone can land you a quick social media post. We build partnerships that compound over your entire career. The deals you sign today should open doors five years from now, not close them.

NIL Education

The NIL world is full of bad actors and bad advice. We arm you and your family with the knowledge to spot red flags, avoid costly mistakes, and make confident decisions. Knowledge is your best protection.

Compliance & Protection

Most representatives can't navigate the legal side of NIL. We can. Contract review, business formation, tax planning, and compliance guidance from someone with real sports law training.

Pro-Ready When You Are

NIL is just the beginning. When you're ready for professional contracts and major endorsements, we're already there with you. Same approach, same protection, bigger stage.

Why Athletes and Families Trust R2

In an industry full of empty promises, we do things differently. Here's what that actually looks like.

  • 1

    We Fight For You

    This isn't a side hustle. When brands try to lowball you, when contracts have hidden traps, when someone isn't treating you right, we go to bat. Hard. Your success is our success.

  • 2

    Sports Law Trained

    Not a former athlete with a business card. Someone who went to law school specifically to practice sports law and has worked inside recruiting departments and agencies. When things get complicated, that background matters.

  • 3

    Career Over Quick Cash

    If a deal pays us well but isn't right for you, we'll walk away from it. Your trajectory over the next decade matters more than any single check.

  • 4

    Full Transparency

    We'll tell you things you might not want to hear. If a deal is bad, we say so. If you're not ready, we say so. If someone else can serve you better, we'll tell you that too.

Athlete, family

Your Child's Future Matters More Than Any Deal

The NIL world is full of smooth talkers making big promises. Some are legit. Many aren't. As a parent, your instinct to protect your child is exactly right.

That's why we don't just ask for your trust. We earn it through transparency, constant communication, and always putting your child's future ahead of any deal.

You're Always In The Room

CC'd on every email. Welcome on every call. We'll never make a move without you knowing. Period.

We Teach, Not Just Sell

We'll explain every contract, every clause, every decision until it makes sense. An informed family makes better choices.

Person First, Player Second

Your child's character, education, and wellbeing come before any paycheck. We've said no to lucrative deals that didn't align with an athlete's values.

No High-Pressure Tactics

Real opportunities don't disappear overnight. Take the time you need. We're not going anywhere.

Questions Parents Should Ask Any Representative

  1. How will you keep us informed about opportunities and decisions?
  2. What happens if we disagree about whether to pursue a deal?
  3. How do you handle situations that might conflict with academics or athletics?
  4. Can you explain your fee structure in plain terms?
  5. What are the terms for ending the relationship if it's not working?
  6. Who specifically will be working with our child day-to-day?
  7. How do you evaluate whether an opportunity is right for our child?

We're happy to answer all of these, and any others you have.

Founder, Rector Representation

I've been where the problems happen. Working in an SEC recruiting department, I saw how athletes get processed through the system. At Legacy Sports Agency and Spyre Sports, I learned what this industry really looks like from the inside.

Those experiences shaped my vision for what athlete representation should be. So I went to law school, specifically to practice sports law. Now I use that training every day to actually protect athletes the way they deserve to be protected.

But here's what really drives me: I work with young people every day. I lead a small group for the youth group at my church. I help run an elementary school basketball league. I see the person behind the jersey. That's who I'm fighting for.

I started Rector Representation because too many athletes are being treated as commodities. You deserve someone in your corner who sees your whole future, not just your next deal.

Real Questions, Straight Answers

No corporate speak. No dodging. Here's what you actually want to know.

Character and commitment matter more than star ratings. We look for athletes who want to build something real, not just cash quick checks. If you're serious about your future and willing to put in the work, we want to talk to you. We'll make sure we can genuinely help before moving forward.

Lower than you'd expect. We're not here to maximize what we take from you. We're building long-term relationships, and that means being fair from day one. We'll walk you through our exact structure on our first call. No surprises, no hidden fees.

Yes, and sometimes that's the most important time to get help. Bad advice early can haunt you for years. If you have serious Division I interest, let's talk. Sometimes the right answer is "not yet," and we'll be honest about that. But having someone in your corner who knows what's coming can make all the difference.

Perfect timing. We'll review everything you've been offered and tell you exactly what we see: what's fair, what's not, what's missing, and what you could push for. No commitment required. Just an honest assessment from someone who reads these contracts every day.

Some of the best NIL success stories aren't five-stars. Your brand, your story, your authenticity, and how you position yourself matter more than recruiting rankings. We've seen overlooked athletes build incredible platforms because they understood their unique value. Let's find yours.

Completely. We actually prefer it. Parents often catch things athletes miss. They ask the questions that need asking. This affects your whole family, so your whole family should be part of the process. We'll never try to go around them.

Ready to Do This Right?

No sales pitch. No pressure. Just an honest conversation about where you are and where you want to go.

Here's What Happens Next

Fill out the form, and I'll personally respond within 24 hours. We'll schedule a 30-minute call where you can ask anything, and I'll give you my honest take on your situation.

If we're not the right fit, I'll tell you directly and point you toward someone who can help. The goal is for you to make the best decision for your future, even if that's not us.
