Welcome to another episode of The People of Penn State! On today's show, we're joined by NFL Player Agent, Jim Ivler (1990 - History)!
He takes us inside the world of athlete representation, breaking down what it's like to work with NFL stars of the past and present.
Jim's clients include Penn State letterman Tamba Hali, Robbie Gould, and Brenton Strange, who was recently drafted in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Since joining Sportstar, in 1997, Jim has been instrumental in building the company into one of the largest NFL Agencies in the country, and has distinguished himself as an expert contract negotiator, one who has an excellent understanding of the NFL and its policies, and as an agent who works diligently and tirelessly for the best interests of his clients.
After graduating from Penn State in 1990 with his Bachelors of Arts in History, and Widener University School of Law in Harrisburg in 1993 with his Juris Doctorate, Jim practiced for four years at the renowned law firm of Spadoro & Hilson in Woodbridge, New Jersey.
