West Virginia State University, located in Institute, West Virginia, is a historically Black university and proud member of the CIAA (Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association). The Yellow Jackets compete across a wide range of NCAA Division II sports, and their student-athletes represent the best of WVSU's commitment to excellence both on and off the field.
In a continued effort to expand Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities for its student-athletes, WVSU Athletics has extended its partnership with Influxer — a platform purpose-built to connect college athletes with officially licensed merchandise opportunities that generate real income and real brand equity. Read the official announcement from WVSU Athletics here.
"Influxer is proud to partner with West Virginia State University Athletics and create a meaningful NIL opportunity for Yellow Jacket student-athletes," said Tyler Jaynes, Founder and CEO of Influxer. "As a former college athlete, I understand how valuable it is for student-athletes to have accessible ways to build their personal brands and benefit from their name, image, and likeness. Through officially licensed merchandise, WVSU athletes will be able to connect more directly with their families, fans, and the broader Yellow Jacket community while earning from the support they have worked so hard to build."
Through this partnership, WVSU student-athletes gain access to Influxer's NIL merchandise platform, which allows them to earn directly from co-branded, officially licensed apparel and gear. Unlike traditional sponsorship models, Influxer's approach is designed to be accessible to athletes across all sports — not just the highest-profile programs — making it one of the most inclusive NIL solutions available at the collegiate level.
For Yellow Jacket fans, alumni, and supporters, this partnership means more ways to show up for the athletes you love. Every purchase from the WVSU collection directly supports student-athletes while keeping you connected to the program. Whether you're cheering from the stands or following from afar, wearing WVSU Influxer merch is a direct investment in the next generation of Yellow Jacket talent.
