Brian Poole Jr

Ricky attended college at LSU where he played football, as well as track and field. He was a member of LSU’s 2007 BCS National Championship team, and also the defensive MVP of the 2008 BCS National Championship Game. Picked late in the 7th round of the 2009 Draft by the San Francisco 49ers, he defied the odds by having a tenured career in the NFL. He became famous among 49ers fans for his "Peanut Butter Jelly Dance".

He played for 6 NFL teams where he was always a mentoring squad player. Ricky also knew that his football career would eventually end, needing to focus on his “retirement fund”. This goal was realized when he played for the New England Patriots where he used Dunkin’ franchises as a potential pathway for his post-career plans. He joined forces with Jordan Reed and Sam Shields founding U Donuts, LLC. The trio has since planned to operate 26 stores in the Southeast US. Grant Benson, Dunkin’ Brands Sr. VP of Franchising stated, “Many of the skills learned in sports can translate to franchising, and these professional athletes know how to work hard and utilize the operations playbook to their advantage”.

As the trio of players continues to build their coffee and donut empire, Ricky wants more players to focus on building their post-career plans early on, so they can retire and walk gently into a comfortable life.

Brett Gardner made his Major League Baseball debut with the NY Yankees in 2008. Following his rookie campaign, Gardner was named the starting center fielder for the 2009 season where he would lead the Yankees outfield to their 2009 World Series victory against the Philadelphia Phillies. In 2014 Gardner was nominated for the Hank Aaron Award, an honor in which the nomination stems from the decision of NY play-by-play broadcasters for a player's on-field efforts. Gardner, who makes regular visits to children at the New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital during the season, was recognized for his athletic success and philanthropic work after receiving the Thurman Munson Hero Award in the same year.

Continuing his career in NY, Gardner was selected to the 2015 All-Star Game and rolled right into the 2016 season as he won the Gold Glove Award for American League Left Fielders. 2019 was another year of milestones as Brett joined Derek Jeter as the only two Yankees in history to hit at least 100 home runs and steal 250 bases. In continuation of his off-field efforts in 2017, Gardner was nominated for the Roberto Clemente Award. This award is given to the player that best represents the game of baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy, and positive contributions, both on and off the field.

On February 23, 2021, Gardner signed a one-year contract to continue playing with the Yankees. On April 3, during a game against the Toronto Blue Jays, playing left field, Gardner became the 14th Yankees position player to play 14 or more consecutive seasons with the Yankees. In his final season with the Yankees he played in 140 games and hit .222 with 10 home runs and 39 RBI. In November of 2022 Brett officially became a free agent.
