About GAT NATION

Welcome to GAT NATION - the agency that specializes in specialists. 

At GAT NATION, we're committed to recruiting the best of the best - both on and off the field. We look beyond just the rankings to recruit players who also emulate our core values: that hard work and dedication prevail, that your character is important, and that confidence in your craft is key. We're proud that the players we represent strive for greatness in all aspects of their lives.

GAT NATION is a highly selective agency, usually only taking on one new client each year, which guarantees that each player is recognized for their individual talent and that the sole focus is on them and their career advancement. This affords GAT NATION the ability to respond almost instantaneously to all calls and messages and attend important events at the request of the client. Our GAT NATION clients are family and are treated as such. We believe this kind of personal, one-on-one engagement is something that sets us apart in the industry. We will travel to attend the Combine, Pro Days, Pre-Season Games, and NFL Games as needed to support our clients.

GAT NATION was founded in 2021 when William C. Gattoni, Jr., CEO and President, decided to pursue his dream of starting his own agency and representing the best specialists in the NFL. Will is a certified National Football League Players Association Agent and has been working in the NFL specialist industry since 2013, alongside premier specialists such as Justin Tucker, Aldrick Rosas, Josh Brown, Chase McLaughlin, Rick Lovato, and Thomas Hennessy. He studied finance at The College of New Jersey and received his J.D. from St. John's University School of Law. Will's business and legal background provides him the relevant knowledge for NFL contract negotiations and skillset to deal with the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement. During his near decade long career, Will has also built great working relationships with all 32 teams in the NFL and successfully uses his relationships to leverage multiple workouts and opportunities for his players. Will has also recently been engaged as an agent for the PGA, where he has handled day-to-day management and marketing negotiations for his client.
