DESCRIPTION:The Power of the Player: Name\, Image\, Likeness and Networking\nHow college athletes build their brand — and what we can learn from it.\nIt’s more than sports — it’s about how relationships\, reputation\, and the\nright connections can open doors in any field.

Dylan transitioned into the NIL space after starting his career at a corporate law firm in Chicago. His current work blends contract management\, donor engagement and day-to-day strategy around athlete marketing and team support. \nWhether you’re into sports or not\, today’s college athletes are rewriting the\nrules of personal branding and opportunity.
