(Hastings, NE) Tractor Tuesday is excited to announce that Fort Hays State University softball pitcher Kylie Caspersen has signed a Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deal to become a brand ambassador. Tractor Tuesday is an online auction platform for producers, empowering equipment owners with the tools to successfully represent and sell their own equipment. This collaboration is a great fit, bringing together an incredible student-athlete with a company dedicated to supporting athletes from agricultural backgrounds.
In high school, Kylie pitched for Northwest High School in Nebraska, winning back-to-back state championships and earning All-Conference and All-State honors. In addition to her athletic achievements, Kylie was a member of the National Honor Society, earned Academic Letters, and made the Honor Roll every year. This is her first season with FHSU, where she is expected to make a significant impact.
Kylie grew up on a cow/calf farm in Nebraska, where she learned important life lessons about hard work and responsibility. She recounted, “Growing up on a farm has taught me how to have a good work ethic when competing in athletics and working in the classroom. I also have learned how to be responsible. When my parents are out of town for the weekend, I would be responsible for feeding the cattle and making sure everything was running correctly.” Kylie is majoring in Animal Science and plans to use her education to work in agriculture after graduating.
It means a lot to Kylie to be a brand ambassador for Tractor Tuesday, representing the company in various marketing campaigns and community outreach initiatives. She said, “Just seeing other athletes from FHSU get recognized was very eye-opening for me. Being considered a role model for other athletes with an agriculture background is very important for our agriculture industry.”
“We’re excited to have Kylie as part of the Tractor Tuesday family,” said Zach Bosle, CEO of Tractor Tuesday. “She’s a great athlete, a smart student, and completely dedicated to agriculture, which makes her an ideal Farm Athlete.”
This NIL deal underscores Tractor Tuesday’s commitment to creating opportunities for college athletes from farm and ranch backgrounds, helping them succeed in their athletic careers while staying connected to their roots.
