Thanks to the eagle eye of the Wizard of Odds, the Internet has been graced with harrowing documentary footage into the off-hours life of USC student Teague Egan, the baby agent who sent the Trojan compliance department into another spasm last month by shuttling freshman running back Dillon Baxter across campus in a logofied golf cart.
At some point this fall, Egan's "heart of the ghetto" pad was featured on something called "Campus Cribs," which produced pretty much exactly what you'd expect from an overprivileged 22-year-old college senior in L.A. who fashions himself as the next Drew Rosenhaus – annoyed roommates, a kegerator, at least two dozen bottles of Grey Goose, obviously exaggerated sexual exploits, slightly NSFW posters, gratuitous use of the adjective "crucial," and of course, plenty of airtime for Egan's fledgling agency, 1st Round Entertainment:
Obviously, the word "agency" here richly deserves to be placed inside of scare quotes: Egan is just an entitled kid with a website, a pair of obscure clients and rims on his golf cart. In most cases, he'd be a "runner" for the real thing. Somehow, though, he is certified by the NFL Players' Association as an official agent, according to the L.A. Times' T.J. Simers, despite the league's usual requirement that an agent have both undergraduate and advance degrees. (Egan is scheduled to graduate with a bachelor's degree in the spring.)
He's also unusually wealthy via his father, unusually chummy with USC players and unusually anxious to become the West Coast version of Rosenhaus, who made his fortune by latching onto NFL-bound players at his alma mater, Miami. Which makes him an unusual pain for USC, in particular, considering that the Trojans of all teams really don't need this kind of headache right now.
