SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Signing Day Sports, Inc. (“Signing Day Sports” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: SGN), the developer of the Signing Day Sports app and platform to aid high school athletes in the recruitment process, today announced the signing of a new Sponsorship Agreement with the U.S. Army Bowl, extending its rights as “National Recruiting Partner”. The Sponsorship Agreement solidifies Signing Day Sports’ role as manager of the U.S. Army Bowl’s National Combines and specified Regional Combines, enables the Company to promote its app and services, and provides revenue-sharing opportunities.

“Our collaboration with the U.S. Army Bowl and the U.S. Army Bowl’s owner, Goat Farm Sports, has already brought over 8,000 new football users into our SaaS model app,” said Jeff Hecklinski, President of Signing Day Sports. “We are ecstatic to be able to finalize a new Sponsorship Agreement, strengthening the business relationship between Goat Farm Sports and Signing Day Sports. We want to thank Goat Farm Sports for their continued trust and support of Signing Day Sports. Based on our prior collaboration as National Recruiting Partner to the U.S. Army Bowl in 2022, 2023 and 2024, we believe that we have created and grown one of the best-known high school football combine series in the country. With the technology of Signing Day Sports and the brand of the U.S. Army Bowl, we have been able to help provide complete and necessary services to student-athletes and their families around the country to help them successfully navigate the college recruiting landscape. Over the past year alone, we have worked with almost 4,000 student-athletes and their families. Through our comprehensive webinars, individual informational sessions, and other outreach, we have helped student-athletes reach their goals of playing college football. We are excited to continue our growth and success alongside Goat Farm Sports and the U.S. Army Bowl in the coming years.”

Nearly 3,000 student-athletes participated in the 2024 U.S. Army Bowl Regional Combines, and projections exceed 4,000 in 2025. Signing Day Sports will continue to operate the U.S. Army Bowl National Combine in December 2025, now the largest high school football combine in the country. The Company will receive a $60 stipend for each athlete who attends the National Combine and pays the full registration fee. Signing Day Sports will manage specified regional combines, retaining all earnings and absorbing all costs directly with minimal overhead. Regional combines may feature an official U.S. Army Bowl academy, at which the Company will feature a 1-day combine managed and operated by the Company. The Company will receive $135 of any academy fee and commissions for assisting with academy sales. Every participant will receive their video-verified data from their combine in their Signing Day Sports app and, after their free trial period ends, will be added to the app to continue with their recruiting profile. Through the app, athletes will be able to search and communicate directly with coaches from around the country through the newly updated coaches search tab found in the app.

A copy of the Sponsorship Agreement was filed as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Signing Day Sports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 30, 2025.
