Azareye’h Thomas
Defensive Back
AZ is a tremendous athlete coming out of high school as a three sport athlete. He elected to play
football for Florida State where he appeared in 11 games last season with 14 tackles, 1 interception,
and 1 pass breakup. AZ is looking to hold a large role on defense this season and continue to scare off
opposing offenses.
“We’re very confident because we know the work we put in. When you put in work you don't have to go
out there and fear something happening because you prepared the right way, so we are very confident.”

WHAT IS NIL
NIL broadly refers to an individual athlete’s name, image, and likeness and typically refers to the now-permitted practice of college athletes monetizing their names, images, and likenesses.
The NCAA lifted restrictions on athletes earning money through use of their NIL on July 1, 2021. Prior to this decisions, student athletes could be stripped of their athletic eligibility for receiving compensation of any kind while competing in college sports.
Athletes are still prohibited from being compensated for on-field activities or performance. However, players are now able to monetize their name, image, or likeness. This can include a broad array of activities including sponsorships, endorsements, and advertising opportunities.
Under these new laws and NCAA rules, schools and booster organizations COULD NOT fund or provide NIL deals to athletes.
This gave rise to 3rd-party organizations like The Battle’s End that can directly compensate athletes for the right to market the NIL of those athletes and help them maximize the value of their name, image, and likeness.
NIL gives athletes the ability to maximize their individual brand, pursue interests beyond their sport, support their families, and give back to their communities.
