Rich Paul’s Klutch Sports agency is expanding by acquiring ELITE Athlete Management, a group that represents Odell Beckham Jr. among about 40 other NFL players.

ELITE Athlete Management CEO Zeke Sandhu and his 40 clients are now joining Klutch Sports, according to Ian Rapoport. Other NFL players repped by Sandhu include Christian Kirk, Zay Jones, Isaiah Hodgins, Tyrel Dodson, Kyler Gordon, and Danielle Hunter.

Klutch Sports is a basketball-centric talent agency that works with stars such as LeBron James, Anthony Edwards, De’Aaron Fox, Zach LaVine, Draymond Green, and Darius Garland. The acquisition of ELITE will build upon Klutch’s growing NFL client base, which already includes young stars Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith, Chase Young, and Bryce Hall. 

In April, Klutch’s Nicole Lynn helped secure a $255 million deal for Hurts that made the Eagles quarterback the highest-paid player in NFL history until he was surpassed by Lamar Jackson’s $260 million extension with the Baltimore Ravens.

ELITE Athlete Management’s other clients include Washington Wizards player Quenton Jackson and several college athletes from schools such as Ohio State, LSU, USC, and Texas.
