Da'Quon Felton's impact was immediate for the Hokies last year. After transferring from Norfolk State University, Felton became the leading receiver for Virginia Tech with 38 receptions for 667 yards and 8 touchdowns. Standing at 6'5 and weighing in at 207, Felton is the premier red zone target and downfield threat for starting QB Kyron Drones.

Triumph NIL partnered with Kiser Furniture to sponsor both Felton and Drones with new furniture for their on campus apartments. Triumph NIL is a collective for Virginia Tech athletes that specializes in curating opportunities that meet all NCAA compliance and State legal criteria. Triumph seeks to maximize individual and group earning potential and provide clarity to key stakeholders through creative activations.

Virginia Tech looks to improve on their 7-6 season last year and get back to their glory days in the 90's and 2000's. The continuation of Felton's production will help elevate the Hokies to the next level. Check out Felton's highlight tape below:

Sage Thompson's career from Utah to Oregon State is as decorated as they come. Thompson was a key team member helping Utah to a third-place national finish in both 2022 and 2023, earning NCAA All-America honors on uneven bars as a true freshman in 2021. This year Sage finished with an average of 9.900 and earned a Pac-12 Honorable Mention selection on uneven bars.

Harmless Harvest Coconut Water is committed to "making the most amazing coconut water in the most ethical way possible". Harmless Harvest makes organic certified coconut water to make sure none of their coconuts are not irradiated or produced with GMOs. Coconut water is filled with electrolytes which are charged minerals that help you stay hydrated. The body loses water and electrolytes from sweating during exercise and the electrolytes in coconut water help you replenish both. It makes sense why Harmless Harvest would partner with a dynamic athlete like Sage Thompson to demonstrate the benefits after working out.
