Jonathan Perzley

Jonathan Perzley is an American sports agent and partner at Sportstars, Inc., known for representing professional football players in the National Football League (NFL). He has been an NFLPA-certified contract advisor since 2007.

Early life and education Perzley was born in Ridgewood, New Jersey, and attended Fair Lawn High School, where he competed in tennis and was nationally ranked as a junior.

He later attended the University of Florida in Gainesville, earning both his bachelor's and master's degrees.

As a student, he interned with CarrSports Consulting, founded by former UF athletic director Bill Carr, an experience that helped lead him to his later role at Sportstars.

He later joined Sportstars, Inc., where he has represented numerous NFL players, including many from the University of Florida. Over time, he became known for signing a large number of UF athletes, leading some outlets to describe a "pipeline" between the school and his agency.

In September 2025, Perzley helped facilitate defensive back Kaiir Elam's trade to the Dallas Cowboys after the player sought more opportunities following limited playing time with the Buffalo Bills.
