Partnership brings together one of football’s most electrifying young athletes with Shock Doctor’s trusted protection, bold style and deep commitment to the next generation of the game.
COSTA MESA, Calif. - June 15, 2026 - Shock Doctor, a leading sports protection brand and part of the United Sports Brands portfolio, is proud to announce a partnership with A’mir Sears, one of the most dynamic young athletes in high school football and the No. 1 overall player in the Class of 2028 according to 247Sports’ Top 247 rankings.
Sears has quickly become one of the most talked-about athletes in the country. A standout two-way playmaker from Miami, Florida, Sears brings elite speed, coverage ability, ball skills and game-changing explosiveness to the field. Ranked as the top player in his class by 247Sports and recognized as one of the premier defensive back prospects in the nation, Sears represents the future of football: fast, versatile, confident and built for the spotlight.
As part of the partnership, Sears will represent Shock Doctor on and off the field, wearing Shock Doctor mouthguards and football accessories while collaborating with the brand on athlete-driven storytelling, product feedback and content designed to connect with the next generation of football players.
“A’mir is exactly the kind of athlete who represents where football is going,” said Kyle Schlegel, SVP of Marketing at United Sports Brands. “He plays with confidence, creativity and an edge that stands out immediately. Shock Doctor has always been about helping athletes play protected and play fearless, and A’mir brings that spirit to life every time he steps on the field.”
For Shock Doctor, the partnership continues the brand’s investment in athletes who influence the game at the youth, high school and next-generation levels. With football culture increasingly shaped by speed, expression, individuality and social-first storytelling, Sears gives Shock Doctor a powerful voice with young athletes who want gear that performs at the highest level while also reflecting their personal style.
“Shock Doctor is a brand that lets me feel protected and still bring my own style to the field,” said Sears. “Football is about confidence, and when I’m out there, I want to play fast, compete and make plays. I’m excited to partner with Shock Doctor and be part of a brand that supports athletes who are pushing the game forward.”
The partnership also highlights Shock Doctor’s leadership in mouthguards, lip guards and protective accessories.
