Drue Hackenberg joins Triumph NIL roster
[Blacksburg, VA, March 2, 2023] Triumph NIL announced today that pitcher Drue Hackenberg has chosen Triumph to assist him in managing his Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) rights. Triumph, a NIL sports marketing agency recognized by On3 Sports as a Top 20 ‘Most Ambitious’ NIL franchise, develops custom partnerships for collegiate student-athletes with members of the business community, supporters and fans. The group specializes in building meaningful business relationships that meet all NCAA compliance and State legal criteria. Parties interested in working with these and/or other Triumph athletes are encouraged to contact the agency directly.
“Drue is certainly a rising star on the baseball team with insane potential,” said Joey Harrington, Triumph NIL partner. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to watch him thrive on the field while we work to help his ‘NIL’ thrive off of it.”
As a sophomore right-handed pitcher, Hackenberg is among the Hokies’ top baseball prospects. With 10 strikeouts against Bryant on Saturday, he has already broken his personal career for strikeouts in a game. In 2022, the Palmyra, Va. native posted a 10-2 record in 17 appearances (16 starts). He finished ACC play with a conference leading 2.44 ERA and was named as a Freshman All-American by five different organizations.
“I am grateful and excited to work with the team at Triumph NIL to help build my brand as a student-athlete here at Virginia Tech and to make things off the field much easier so I can work on being the best I can be on the field,” said Hackenberg. “The resources that Triumph has will help me build relationships and connections with businesses and the community, which is why I am so eager to be able to work with their team.”
Triumph is ideally positioned to help student-athletes navigate the new and dynamic NIL landscape, to direct corporate clients in identifying specific athletes and building compelling campaigns that drive real results, and to offer platforms for supporters and fans to champion their favorite Hokies.
Triumph boasts a deep and talented roster of student-athletes. Potential partners wishing to connect with Triumph athletes, or other student-athletes, can connect with the team at Triumph via info@triumphnil.com.
