The Ram Collective Launches OLegacy Fund to Support CSU Offensive Linemen
First TRC Donor Direct Contribution Fund
December 4, 2024 - Ft. Collins, CO. – The Ram Collective, LLC (TRC) launched the OLegacy Fund today, a new initiative honoring the critical role of Colorado State University’s (CSU) offensive linemen. The fund provides direct financial assistance to current CSU football offensive linemen.
“We know what it takes to succeed in the trenches. The OLegacy Fund is our way of showing the current offensive linemen that we have their backs, and we’re committed to their success,” said Todd Eakes, former CSU offensive lineman and Executive Director of The Ram Collective. “This is a chance to create a lasting legacy and ensure that the next generation of offensive linemen are fully supported.”
The OLegacy Fund will allocate 100 percent of its proceeds to current CSU offensive linemen who opt into the program. The fund was established by a group of former CSU offensive linemen and supporters who understand the unique demands of the position and the importance of honoring those who fill it. The fund aims to show appreciation for athletes who consistently do the hard work in the trenches — often without recognition.
“The Ram Collective is uniquely positioned to foster direct-donor contributions to specific student athletes,” said Eakes. “We hope the OLegacy Fund will be the first of many of these types of NIL opportunities for CSU players across all sports. We’re already off to a great start with this campaign and are excited to build on its momentum.”
How to Get Involved
100% of the proceeds raised through the OLegacy Fund will be distributed on a fair-share basis to offensive linemen who opt into the program.
