Ryan Coleman of Hometown Realty Announces Exclusive NIL Partnership with UT Vols wide receiver Bru McCoy Knoxville, TN – September, 2024 – Ryan Coleman with Hometown Realty, Knoxville’s premier real estate agency, is proud to announce a groundbreaking Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) Partnership with University of Tennessee’s star wide receiver, Bru McCoy. This partnership is a testament to the changing landscape of college athletics and underscores the power of NIL to forge meaningful connections. In this historic collaboration that underscores the evolving landscape of college sports, Ryan Coleman with Hometown Realty is teaming up with Bru McCoy to create a synergy that benefits the Knoxville community and fans alike. Bru is a member of the football team’s leadership council, a team captain, and a leader in the community.
Bru is in his third season with the Vols and his sixth at the collegiate level. His college career began at USC, followed by a spring at Texas, before returning to USC for three years.
In 2022, his first season as a VOL, he quickly emerged as a go-to wide receiver and started all twelve games. His 2023 season was cut short due to a right ankle fracture dislocation which he sustained in the first half of the South Carolina game. His dedication and hard work in recovery paid off and he returned to shouts from the fans of “Bru, Bru” in the 2024 Chattanooga opener. With six receptions for 89 yards, Bru was back!
Guided by the leadership of Head Coach Josh Heupel, Tennessee is continuing to experience a resurgence. The Vols presently rank 7th on the AP Poll after a 51-10 rout of NC State September 7.
Known for having one of the largest and most passionate fan bases in college football, the VOLS’ journey is closely followed by fans across the nation. As part of this partnership, Ryan Coleman of Hometown Realty is offering fans a chance to win tickets to all home games this season, along with exclusive autographed Bru McCoy memorabilia and UT swag. This continues to exemplify our commitment to fostering a deeper connection between the community and its sports heroes.

“Partnering with Bru McCoy is a testament to our dedication to Knoxville and its vibrant community,” says Ryan Coleman, CEO of Hometown Realty. “We’re excited to provide an avenue for fans to not only to enjoy thrilling college football games but also engage with the local real estate market.

The NIL collective, run by Spyre Sports Group, supports Tennessee student-athletes through a monthly membership program. This collective has distributed millions of dollars in NIL deals to athletes, showcasing its commitment to empowering athletes’ opportunities.
