Meet the Host

Payton Dunn is a Arkansas National Guard member, entrepreneur, and the founder of Choose Arkansas — a fan-run NIL marketing company that has signed over 36 college athletes across the state. Born and raised in Arkansas, Payton built Choose Arkansas from scratch, teaching himself the NIL space and turning it into a real platform for Arkansas student-athletes in a matter of months. Co-Hosted is his way of giving athletes a mic and letting them tell their own stories — unfiltered, real, and Arkansas-proud. Every Thursday, Payton sits down with current and former athletes to talk about the journeys, sacrifices, and moments that never make the highlight reel.
