UW Athletics Partners With Teamworks Influencer For Washington Huskies Exchange
August 01, 2025 | Dawgs Unleashed
SEATTLE – Washington Athletics, in partnership with Teamworks Influencer, has launched the Washington Huskies Exchange to expand Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) opportunities for student-athletes. The collaboration continues the UW's investment in connecting Husky student-athletes with businesses, brands and fans, replacing the previous athlete marketplace partnership with Opendorse, which began in 2022.
Free to both student-athletes and external entities, the Washington Huskies Exchange provides a portal for communicating and fulfilling NIL transactions. After registering with the Washington Huskies Exchange, prospective partners can access a database of available Washington student-athletes and search, filter and initiate conversations to discuss prospective NIL deals.
The Washington Huskies Exchange also includes integrated payment tools and tax reporting features, such as the automatic generation of 1099 forms within each student-athlete's Influencer account. Additionally, student-athletes have access to educational resources covering financial literacy, branding and social media growth.
Influencer allows student-athletes to self-disclose transactions, track earnings per opportunity, and view flagged payments that need attention. The platform is used by more than 270 collegiate and professional sports organizations across the country.
Influencer will also serve as a content hub for athletes to receive, download and post photos and videos to build their brand on social media.
The Washington Huskies Exchange continues the momentum of Dawgs Unleashed, Washington's comprehensive NIL unit that provides partnership opportunities, education, branding resources, and career development support for student-athletes.
