UTA is expanding to Atlanta, billing its full-service presence in the burgeoning entertainment and sports market as a first for any major Hollywood agency.
Klutch Sports Group, as part of the move, will continue to have its NFL representation business based in Atlanta, and enlarge its operations there. UTA bought a stake in Klutch in 2019, bringing LA Lakers stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis into the agency fold.
Both UTA and Klutch already have a number of clients in the Atlanta area. The roster ranges from Trae Young, Jalen Johnson and Cam Reddish (all players on the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks) to musical artists 21 Savage and Offset to activist, political figure and author Stacy Abrams.

Klutch Sports Group, the Rich Paul-founded sports agency in which UTA acquired a significant stake over the summer, has made its first big deal. It has acquired Revolution Sports Agency, one of football’s leading rep agencies, a move that will expand its focus into that sport to compliment a powerhouse basketball business that includes repping NBA stars LeBron James, Anthony Davis, John Wall and Ben Simmons.
No terms of the deal were disclosed, but Revolution founder and CEO Damarius Bilbo will lead Klutch Sport Group’s football division and report to Paul, who is Klutch’s CEO and Head of UTA Sports. That division was founded when UTA brought Klutch into the fold in July.
Revolution features a roster of NFL clients including Jarvis Landry, Xavien Howard, Melvin Gordon, Alvin Kamara, Jordan Jenkins, T.J. Jones, Danny Johnson, Ty Montgomery, Ian Thomas, Justin Bethel, Xavier Woods, Hakeem Butler, Duke Dawson,...
