On January 3, 2018, it was announced that Penn State running back Saquon Barkley had signed with Roc Nation Sports prior to entering the 2018 NFL draft.[9] Roc Nation Sports currently boasts a roster with over 100 athletes across baseball, basketball, American football, soccer, rugby, and e-sports.
