The Charleston Edge Collective is the new NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) Collective supporting College of Charleston student-athletes. We exist to give our athletes the edge they need to capitalize on their talents, build their personal brands, and secure opportunities that set them apart—both on and off the court or field.
We established The Charleston Edge Collective to do NIL the right way and create a program worthy of the student athletes who give their all for the team we all love.

In today’s college sports landscape, NIL is critical to success. Programs that invest in their athletes’ NIL opportunities are the ones that will thrive.
At the Charleston Edge Collective, we ensure that College of Charleston athletes have a competitive advantage over their peers. We provide the resources and support necessary to recruit the best, retain the best, and win.
The Charleston Edge Collective is dedicated to preparing student-athletes for life beyond sports. We provide education on financial literacy, business skills, and local business opportunities, helping athletes build a strong foundation for their future.
By connecting them with the Charleston business community, we ensure that athletes gain the real-world experience and support they need to thrive.
The “Edge” in Charleston Edge speaks to the unique advantages that set us apart from other schools. College of Charleston is perfectly positioned to be a leader in the NIL space. Unlike other mid-major programs in South Carolina and across the country, College of Charleston’s NIL success in all sports comes at a much more reasonable price tag.
Unlike many schools, we don’t have a football program that requires millions of dollars before any other sport can get attention. This allows us to prioritize our top sports programs and focus our resources where they matter most—on the athletes driving our current success.
We’re based in a world-class city with an incredible business community and global recognition. Charleston is a destination city, giving our athletes access to a network of business leaders and opportunities that go beyond the local market. Being in Charleston gives us a powerful edge in the NIL world.
Unlike programs that are rebuilding, we’re capitalizing on existing success. With big-name coaches, world-class student-athletes, and a strong winning culture already in place, we’re taking the next step to grow even further.
As the head coach of the College of Charleston baseball team, I can’t stress enough how important NIL has become in shaping the future of college athletics. It’s a game-changer for programs like ours, not just for attracting top talent but for giving our student-athletes the opportunities they deserve. The Charleston Edge Collective is making sure we’re prepared to compete at the highest level, and I’m proud to support their efforts. We are thrilled to see the Edge get off the ground, but the real work starts now. We need everyone—fans, alumni, and supporters—to step up and be a part of this. Your investment in the Charleston Edge Collective will ensure that CofC Baseball continues to thrive and reach new milestones.
Our goal is to create a well-funded, sustainable Collective that meets and exceeds the high expectations for College of Charleston athletics.
With the backing of alumni, donors, and the community, we are building a robust network that guarantees the continued success of the program, helping us recruit top-tier talent and retain the best athletes. Together, we can propel College of Charleston to new heights.
Help us create a brighter future for College of Charleston student-athletes. Your sponsorship will have a lasting impact on their careers on and off the court.
