Distinction Agency Signs A Couple Florida Gators For NIL Representation

distinction agency

Miami, Florida-based Distinction Agency, co-founded by CEO Alexander Onaindia, has signed two University of Florida athletes for name, image, and likeness (NIL) representation. The athletes are six-time NCAA All-American gymnast Nya Reed and defensive back Mordecai McDaniel.

Both Reed and McDaniel signed exclusive representation agreements with Distinction Agency.

“We are thrilled about the opportunity to work with Nya and Mordecai,” said Onaindia. “Our agency has been selectively signing NCAA athletes to ensure we are working with the right student athletes who demonstrate excellence in their sports, the classroom and their local community. Nya and Mordecai are fantastic additions to Distinction and we are eager to get to work.”
