Deestroying, real name Donald De La Haye, has signed with CAA in all areas. The creator has more than 14 million followers across his social platforms, and has garnered more than 1.6 billion views on YouTube alone. Most recently he worked as a sideline correspondent in the 2025 international NFL season opening game in São Paulo for YouTube, working alongside Rich Eisen and Kurt Warner. He also appeared in a commercial during Super Bowl LVIII, and appeared on stage at YouTube's Brandcast event alongside NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. He was a division football player at the University of Central Florida, and began posting vlogs about his life as a college athlete, however he lost his scholarship after choosing to continue posting videos to YouTube and making money off of them. The case became a flashpoint for college NIL (name, image, likeness) deals and legislation. He made his pro football debut last year as a kicker for the San Antonio Brahmas UFL team.
