Press Release:
Los Angeles, CA, March 22nd, 2016 – With the 2016 NFL Draft rapidly approaching, NCLUSIVE is excited to announce the signing of five future NFL athletes — Jalen Ramsey, Scooby Wright, Alex McCalister, Tevin Carter and Dom Williams. Occupying one of the trendiest addresses in Hollywood, NCLUSIVE specializes in brand building, marketing and endorsements, and public relations for athletes across all major sports. NCLUSIVE has one of the most impressive client portfolios in all of Los Angeles, and we’re looking forward to adding to our success with our new NFL-prospect clients. “It’s so important for these young, high profile athletes to be proactive with regards to the development of their personal brands at the beginning of their career as opposed to reacting to success, which can come at a moments notice,” explained Lindsey Waterhouse, Director of Public Relations at NCLUSIVE. “We are so proud to be a part of their team and help each of them navigate their off-field endeavors for years to come.”
Perhaps the most feared cornerback in all of college football, Jalen Ramsey is poised to take the NFL by storm as a projected top-5 overall draft selection. Known for his jaw-dropping hits and stout coverage, Ramsey finished his career at Florida St. as a 2-time ACC Champion, a BCS National Champion and a consensus All-American in 2015. A three-year starter for the Seminoles, Ramsey never missed a game, starting all 41 contests between 2013 and 2016. Last season against No. 1 Clemson, Ramsey recorded an insane 9 tackles, a pass breakup and a sack. After an incredible career in Tallahassee, Ramsey decided to forgo his senior year and declare for the NFL Draft.
For three years at the University of Arizona, Scooby Wright was a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks all throughout the nation. Perhaps the best linebacker to ever play for the Wildcat program, Wright was a unanimous All-American, First-Team All Pac-12 selection and a Heisman finalist in 2014. With Wright in uniform, Arizona enjoyed a historic three-year run, beating Oregon, USC and rival Arizona St. Wright is projected as a top 50-draft selection and has the potential to become a breakout star in the NFL.
Labeled by scouts as a defensive force to be reckoned with, Alex McCalister is ready to prove his doubters wrong. A product of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, McCalister was a star defensive end from an early age. Choosing Florida over a host of other southern university powerhouses, McCalister took advantage of the bright lights at the Swamp right away, recording 26 tackles and 6 sacks in his first two seasons. Analysts brand this defensive giant as a future NFL starter who was one of the breakout stars at the 2016 NFL Combine.
A Los Angeles native and breakout star at Utah, Tevin Carter was one of the premiere defensive backs in the Pac-12 last season. Recording an unheralded 56 tackles in 2015, Carter led the top-ranked Utes to wins over Oregon, Cal and Washington in the regular season. The cornerback took home MVP honors after Utah defeated in-state rival BYU in the Las Vegas Bowl. Known for his lock-down coverage and impressive size, scouts brand Carter as a mid-round sleeper pick, capable of being one of the biggest steals in the 2016 draft.
Wide receiver Dom Williams led the Washington St. Cougars to program heights in 2015. With breakout performances in wins over Oregon, Arizona St., and Oregon St, Williams took the Pac-12 by surprise tallying 192 receptions and 30 touchdowns in 4 years in Pullman. Led by Williams’s stout route running ability and athleticism, Washington St. won its first bowl game in nearly 12 years last season, beating the storied Miami Hurricanes in the Sun Bowl. Analysts predict Williams as a late round draft pick, fully capable of making an impact on an NFL roster in 2016.
