URAS AGEE IV: Navigating life beyond the field
Uras Agee IV, commonly known as "LT," comes from an extended lineage of NFL veterans, including his father, Uras Agee III, and his uncle Tommie Agee, who played for the Cowboys in the past. Agee recently re-signed with the Dallas Cowboys for the 2025 training camp, bringing his versatility, size, and on-field intelligence to the defensive backfield and special teams unit. At 6’2” and 211 pounds, Agee’s experience and adaptability make him a strong contender to secure a roster spot this season.
Beyond his career in the NFL, Uras Agee IV has established himself as a savvy entrepreneur and investor with a growing footprint in health, wellness, and fitness. He owns a luxury MedSpa in Tampa, is a partner in Ryze MD, and serves as a shareholder in True Aesthetics, a leading medical aesthetics group with locations across Miami and West Palm Beach. Agee has also expanded into the fitness industry as an owner of an LA Fitness franchise in Florida. His ability to identify high-growth opportunities off the field mirrors the focus and discipline that define his success on it, earning him recognition as both an athlete and a businessman on the rise.
Agee began playing football at age five back home in Chattanooga, TN, where the sport was instilled in his mind from an early age. In later years, he branched out into playing different sports ranging from swimming, baseball, basketball, and track but ultimately narrowed his focus on football.
"I haven't always necessarily been the best football player, but I've always been the best athlete," Agee said. "Things I maybe couldn't do directly as a football player, I always was able to make up for it with athleticism, so I think that brought a different dynamic with my personality to the game of football."
Agee carried on his athletic abilities to Coastal Carolina, where he transferred to the University of Georgia. Between his time at both D1 schools, he spent some time doing a stint at Shorter University. However, playing football wasn't something that he had always enjoyed. He honored the respect of the game for his father as he knew it would make him happy, but in high school, he enjoyed other sports more, Agee said.
"Elementary, middle, and high school, I genuinely played [the game] to make my dad happy," Agee said. "I knew it brought happiness to him as a fourth generation to watch me play the game he loves so much and for it to make my family happy."
He didn't truly fall in love with the game until college, Agee said. As a natural-born competitor, it wasn't the game that necessarily drew him in, but his ability to outshine the person next to him or out work the next person when competing at a high level. With his fierce competitive mindset, Agee faced an incredible amount of adversity, starting in early high school with a bad knee injury that led to OCD lesion tears, turning into a bone deficiency disease.
"During college, I had a couple of knee surgeries that set me back," Agee said. "That was a tough time leaning into resilience and being able to overcome many things.”
Agee also dealt with a legal issue that has since been resolved and is a distant memory. “That was the toughest obstacle I’ve ever faced in life but it really opened my eyes to who truly loved me, cared about me and knew me as a person. I will never put myself in a position or around anyone that can tarnish my reputation or imagine again. I have learned from that experience and moved on with my life.” Agee said.
Agee continues to pursue his ambitious desires, taking on more projects while maintaining training for his NFL career. Through everything he curates, he remains humble in his individuality while being a passionate entrepreneur. Lastly, Agee would like to include a special thank you to his team which are all part of Roc Nation Sports: his agent Evan Rosenberg, his financial advisor Jordan Hansley, publicists Monica , and marketing agent Natalie.
