MICHAEL DeSANE

NFL Agent

Divine Sports & Entertainment - New York, New York

What were some of your professional highlights of 2021?

Our client Cameron Kinley signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We won an appeal that allowed him to play in the NFL. This was after going up against the Navy, to allow him to delay his commission as an officer in order to pursue his dreams to play in the NFL. To my knowledge this is the first time such decision has been reversed, we won with the odds stacked against us. Our company was featured in CNN, Fox, ABC, ESPN, and other major networks. Another client Jaelin Fisher signed a CFL contract. We were able to secure player contracts for all of our clients. We were also able to sign 2 clients for Name Image and Likeness (NIL), this law was passed July 1st to allow college athletes to profit off of their own likeness. Our NIL clients are Leon O'Neal Jr. (Texas A&M) and Keyshawn Lawerence (Oklahoma) both play for teams that are top 25 in the nation. We were able to secure three deals with; Shell, C.C. Creations (merch and clothing), and Brookshire Brothers (supermarket). The year is not finished and we are looking to sign more players for the upcoming NFL draft in 2022.

What are you most looking forward to in 2022?

I am looking forward to the lives we will have an impact on. I say we because I cannot do anything of this by myself without my team. From the players we sign that have aspirations of becoming a professional athlete, to the people that work with me, I am looking forward to seeing their lives impacted in a positive way. I look forward to seeing them all achieve their goals and being a small part in their success.

What is your theme word for 2022?

Faith over facts.
