Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, Minnesota Vikings defensive lineman, has signed with Athletes First for representation. Agents Olivia Green and Austin Lyman will lead his Brand Partnerships, on-field, and off-field representation.
Ingram-Dawkins spent four seasons at Georgia, developing into a disruptive presence on the Bulldogs’ defensive line and helping the program capture back-to-back College Football Playoff National Championships.
His breakout came in 2024, when he earned SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week honors and posted career highs of eight tackles for loss and three sacks across 10 starts.
Minnesota selected him in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he went on to appear in 14 games as a rookie along the Vikings’ defensive front. He continues to work with Ace PR for public relations.
The move adds Ingram-Dawkins to a growing list of NFL clients at Athletes First. The Laguna Hills-based agency recently signed Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. and Carolina Panthers linebacker Claudin Cherelus, and even expanded into broadcasting this year by adding former Chicago Cubs manager David Ross for media and brand representation.
Takeaways
For a second-year pro still working to carve out a defensive role in Minnesota, this signing is about building infrastructure early.
Athletes First has shown it can develop both on-field value and off-field brand equity for younger players, and pairing Ingram-Dawkins with Green and Lyman signals the agency sees long-term upside in his size, athleticism, and versatility along the line.
Can Athletes First help Ingram-Dawkins carve out a bigger role in Brian Flores’ defense as he enters Year 2? Does this signing suggest brand partnership opportunities are coming even before his on-field production picks up?
