A Division II footballer is currently facing accusations of creating an entirely false NFL career in which he supposedly won the Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and played as a safety for the Dallas Cowboys.
Former defensive back Uras Agee IV has presented himself online for years as having played football for the Buccaneers and Cowboys. The bio on his X profile apparently mentioned Super Bowl LV and called Agee a Cowboys safety.
Agee has been posting videos with titles suggesting he is associated with the Buccaneers and has played in the NFL for five seasons, wearing the apparel of NFL teams in the clips and appearing in a graphic similar to Roc Nation Sports' "Welcome to the Family" campaign, which suggests that he has become a member of the sports agency founded by Jay-Z.
However, the real history of his football career reveals the truth about the alleged fake.
Agee played division two college football at Shorter University, where he appears as a junior defensive back in the 2017 season, standing 6 feet tall and weighing 185 pounds. The university has provided no statistics of his performance.
No valid NFL roster or transaction records show that Agee has ever played in the NFL for the Buccaneers, the Cowboys, or any other team. In addition, no publicly available information indicates that Roc Nation Sports represents him.
In one curious case in 2023, Agee was involved in an incident.
The Ryze Wellness and MedSpa in Tampa advertised his participation in the Toys for Tots drive. They mentioned his connection to the Buccaneers, even though Agee attended the event in Cowboys apparel.
At the event, Agee autographed a football to give to a kid at Toys for Tots, believing he had signed the ball as an NFL player.
Furthermore, Agee has appeared in various online profiles as an NFL player and entrepreneur, using money from his football career to invest in other businesses.
Agee has never been criminally charged for this alleged fake career, and there is no information that the spa lost money because of this fraud.
The scandal broke out a couple of days after federal prosecutors charged Daejon Love for allegedly posing as a San Francisco 49ers player while scamming at least 26 women out of $1.3 million.
Agee's case is the second fake NFL player case uncovered in a short period.
