Our Team

Jacob Byrd

Founder & President

Jacob founded The Walk Foundation in 2024 with a clear mandate: to ensure athletes have a trusted place to share their testimonies of faith and to grow deeper in their walk, on and off the field.

A pioneer in the NIL space, Jacob has been building at the intersection of faith, sports, and youth development well before it was fashionable. Since 2022, he has organized and executed youth sports camps for 50+ NFL Draft picks and 10+ NBA Draft picks, creating platforms that connect elite athletes with the next generation in meaningful, values-driven ways.

Through The Walk, he continues to steward relationships, resources, and stories with intentionality, positioning the foundation as a trusted voice in both the athletic and faith communities.
