Uras Agee IV is the second man in a week to be accused online of faking an NFL career, and the internet found him because of the first one. After federal prosecutors charged Daejon Love with posing as a San Francisco 49ers player to defraud 26 women, people started checking other accounts. Agee’s did not hold up.
His X bio at @TheAgeeIV read “Super Bowl LV | Safety – Dallas Cowboys.” Those two things cannot both be true. Super Bowl LV was February 2021, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 31 to 9. The Cowboys were not in it. He has separately claimed the Buccaneers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, and his YouTube channel carried titles including “The World Is Yours, NFL Year 5” and clips labeled as Buccaneers spring training and NFL off-season work. He also posted a graphic built to look like Roc Nation Sports’ “Welcome to the Family” announcement, the campaign Jay-Z’s agency uses when it signs an athlete.
The actual record is short. Uras Agee IV appears on the 2017 football roster at Shorter University, an NCAA Division II program in Rome, Georgia. The school listed him as a junior defensive back, 6 feet, 185 pounds, number 23. His official bio recorded no statistics at all. He lists Chattanooga, Tennessee as his hometown. That is the full documented career. The Shorter bio also included a fun fact saying his father played for the New Orleans Saints. No Uras Agee appears on any Saints all-time roster, though brief training camp or practice squad stints do not always show up in those records.
What separates this from the Love case is that Agee was not only online. In 2023 he appeared in Cowboys gear at Ryze Wellness and MedSpa in Tampa, signing footballs for a donation drive for kids in the Tampa Bay area. The business thanked him publicly and said the autographed ball would make a child very happy. In 2022, a youth football coach in Chattanooga tweeted his thanks to Agee for speaking to his team and sharing his story and words of wisdom. That tweet has since been deleted.He was also monetizing it. Uras Agee IV is listed on OpenSponsorship, a platform that connects brands with athletes, described as a Tampa-based NFL athlete with game-day relevance through the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The listing pitches him to companies in fashion, fitness, cars and gaming, with estimated rates starting around $240 for a social media post, $600 for a brand ambassador campaign and $3,000 for an appearance.
That is where this stops being funny. Any brand that booked through that listing was paying for access to an NFL audience. Any parent who watched their kid get a signed football at that Tampa drive believed a pro player showed up. The value in every one of those exchanges came from a career that does not appear in any league record.
Here is what has not happened. Uras Agee has not been charged with anything. No law enforcement agency has accused him of a crime. There is no reporting that he took money from anyone under false pretenses, and nothing connects him to Daejon Love or to any romance scheme. What exists is a public paper trail of claims that do not match the public record, surfaced by people online. His accounts have been going dark since the story started moving.
The NFL angle is also worth being precise about. Plenty of players spend time on practice squads, in training camps or on futures contracts without ever appearing in a game, and those men are legitimately part of NFL organizations even without a stat line. Nothing in the reporting places Agee in any of those categories with any of the three teams he has claimed.
The pattern that made both of these possible is the same. Post enough content in the right jersey, get tagged by enough real accounts, and search results start filling in the rest. In the Love case, court documents say Google’s AI occasionally returned him as a real 49ers player, and he screenshotted it as proof. Agee’s Tumblr posts are tagged with “google search” and “googleimages” over and over.
