Rayquan Smith, known as the "King of NIL," is a multi-sport athlete and entrepreneur who made waves in college athletics through his strategic approach to Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. A former football player and track athlete at Norfolk State University, Smith secured his first NIL partnership in 2021 and has since amassed over 80 brand deals with companies like Coach, Crocs, and CVS. His success in navigating the NIL landscape led him to co-found SponsorPro, a digital marketplace connecting college athletes with businesses for sponsorship opportunities. His innovative efforts earned him a Forbes 30 Under 30 nomination, making him a trailblazer for student-athletes, especially at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Beyond NIL, Smith is dedicated to mentorship and community impact. He is a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. and serves as a track and field coach at Matoaca High School. His influence extends beyond sports, as he continues to advocate for student-athletes to maximize their earning potential while balancing academics and athletics.
