ATHENS, GA, May 29, 2024 – Georgia football’s Nazir Stackhouse and Drew Bobo are set to partner with Prolific Sports Lab, a leader in laboratory-grade sports equipment. The duo will be promoting the NXT Footguard 2.0, a revolutionary product designed to protect athletes from contact injuries by providing unparalleled foot protection without compromising performance.

The NXT Footguard 2.0 stands out in the market, as it is the first product of it’s kind that is designed to protect athletes feet from getting stepped on. With no comparable products in the market, NXT Foot Guard boasts a unique combination of flexibility and protection to keep athletes safe.

"Our goal with the NXT Footguard 2.0 is to offer top-tier protection and revolutionary injury prevention," said Nicholas Coppola, Founder & CEO of Prolific Sports Lab. "I believe almost every athlete has gone through the pain of getting their foot stepped on. With this product, athletes no longer have to suffer from career setbacks caused by foot injuries during games or practice. We are truly proud and honored to make a product that helps athletes stay on the field playing the game they love.”

Prolific Sports Lab has earned the trust of many athletes, with the NXT Footguard 2.0 being used by football players at over seven Division I programs, including Syracuse, Michigan, Georgia, Florida, Coastal Carolina, Rutgers, and Wisconsin.

Nazir Stackhouse, a standout defensive lineman, and Drew Bobo, Georgia offensive lineman & son of current UGA Offensive Coordinator, Mike Bobo, are the perfect ambassadors for the NXT Footguard 2.0. Their firsthand experience with the challenges of foot injuries when battling in the trenches makes their endorsement particularly compelling. They will showcase the product's benefits through social media channels, emphasizing how the NXT Footguard 2.0 allows athletes to perform at their best without fear of injury.

The NXT Footguard 2.0 is thoughtfully designed with athletes in mind. The product provides protection by utilizing two plates of carbon fiber which are sandwiched between a layer of industry leading D3O® foam and high density EVA. This, combined with a unique patent-pending hinge design keeps the product flexible, and the strap is positioned to maintain traction and stability.With a lower attachment point, it works well with low-cut cleats, and the non-slip silicone grips help it to stay in place securely.
