TROY, Ala. – Following its successful launch Saturday, Trojans Together Collective, which provides Troy student-athletes with Name, Image and Likeness opportunities, has partnered with Troy Sports Properties (Playfly Sports) and Troy Athletics. 
 
Trojans Together is the official Troy University NIL entity formed to recognize and realize Name, Image and Likeness opportunities for Troy student-athletes in all sports.
 
"We're excited to welcome Trojans Together as an official sponsor of Troy Athletics," Director of Athletics Brent Jones said. "The student-athletes are at the forefront of every decision we make and providing them with the opportunity to maximize their NIL opportunities is a priority for Troy Athletics. From its inception, we have embraced NIL and worked to provide our student-athletes with resources and avenues for them to reach their full potential in the marketplace, and our partnership with Trojans Together further strengthens that commitment. I want to thank Chuck Carson, Jason Jones and J.B. Roberts for their efforts in launching this collective for our student-athletes.
 
Featuring CardiNIL Corporate for businesses to maximize brand exposure and the Red Wave Fund for individuals to provide charitable contributions, Trojans Together is led by a leadership team featuring co-founders Chuck Carson (president) and Jason Jones (treasurer) plus J.B. Roberts (secretary). 
 
"One of my favorite things about the history and legacy of leadership at Troy University is the vision to dream big," Carson said. "Trojans Together Collective was founded in that same spirit and everyone involved is here to make sure we continue to dream big and execute well. We are very grateful for the support of the Troy University leadership, including Chancellor Hawkins and Director of Athletics Brent Jones. As the official collective of Troy Athletics, we view this relationship as a partnership. We've had a tremendous start through our silent phase since January and public launch on Saturday, and we believe great things are ahead for Trojans Together Collective and those it was founded to serve."
 
Membership in Trojans Together, whether through charitable giving or business sponsorship, assists Troy's student-athletes in accomplishing that mission and ensuring Troy Athletics maintains its leadership position and competitive legacy in the Sun Belt Conference and among Group of Five institutions across the country.
 
We are thrilled to be supporting the formation of the Trojans Together Collective," said Aaron Hitchcock, General Manager at Troy Sports Properties. "The work of the collective will ultimately elevate the Trojans brand and influence and we look forward to getting started."
