iFOLIO Expands NIL Ambassador Program Nationwide,
Empowering Female Athletes Across the Country
9 standout athletes from D1 power schools Iowa, University of Kentucky, UNC, University of Southern California, UGA, and Georgia Tech signed with iFOLIO
ATLANTA, GA / July 31, 2025 / iFOLIO proudly announces the expansion in 2025 of its NIL Ambassador Program nationwide. On July 29th, iFOLIO Signing Day included 9 standout athletes from six different Division I, Power 4 universities, including University of Iowa, University of Kentucky, University of North Carolina (UNC), University of Southern California (USC), Georgia Tech, and the University of Georgia (UGA). The program is anchored with Kara Dunn and Tonie Morgan returning for their 3rd year. Both are expected to go in the first round of the WNBA draft.
The iFOLIO Ambassador Program provides real-world experience in digital marketing and entrepreneurship — all while giving athletes a platform to tell their story, grow their influence, and prepare for life in sports and beyond. Ambassadors develop marketing skills as they work a marketing plan with a creative team. In return, they receive compensation and a personal athlete website to build their own brand and get more NIL deals. It’s a win-win-win for the athletes, business, and the advancement of women in sports.
This year’s ambassador class includes standout athletes:
- Kara Dunn | Senior, University of Southern California Basketball
- Tonie Morgan | Senior, University of Kentucky Basketball
- Nyla Harris | Senior, University of North Carolina Basketball
- D'Asia Thomas-Harris | Junior, Georgia Tech Basketball
- Erica Moon | Sophomore, Georgia Tech Basketball
- Talayah Walker | Sophomore, Georgia Tech Basketball
- Lexi Blue | Sophomore, University of Kentucky Basketball
- Trinity Turner | Sophomore, University of Georgia Basketball
- Chazadi "Chit Chat" Wright | Sophomore, University of Iowa Basketball
This year’s program is managed by a former iFOLIO Athlete Ambassador, Kayla Blackshear, who was part of the first-ever ambassador class in 2022. She played women’s basketball at Georgia Tech for Coach Nell Fortner. This brings the initiative full circle with leadership grounded in firsthand experience. That full-circle leadership reflects iFOLIO’s commitment to elevating athletes not just during their college careers, but far beyond.
"Providing actionable tools to build the digital brand is core to our mission. We’re proud to provide opportunities to the next generation of female leaders, both on the court and off, to participate with us in this incredible journey."
