Florida State University's men's basketball program has entered into a multi‑year jersey patch sponsorship agreement with ReliaQuest, a Florida‑based cybersecurity firm. The deal, which takes effect for the 2026‑27 season, will see ReliaQuest's logo displayed on all Seminole game jerseys, marking the first such corporate partnership in the history of FSU Athletics.
A Shared Commitment to Innovation
ReliaQuest, founded and led by Brian Murphy, a Florida State graduate and current member of the university's Board of Trustees, brings a valuation exceeding one billion dollars and a workforce of more than 1,200 employees worldwide. Murphy's dual role as both an alumnus and a trustee underscores the deep ties between the company and the institution.
The sponsorship extends beyond the basketball court, reaching into the College of Business and the Atlantic Coast Conference, reflecting a broader alignment of institutional goals. Michael Alford, Vice President of Florida State Athletics, described the agreement as a "significant milestone" that reinforces the university's athletic and academic brand.
Central to ReliaQuest's offering is GreyMatter, an AI‑powered security operations platform that detects, investigates and responds to cyber threats for organizations across the globe. The partnership highlights shared values of innovation, excellence and community support, positioning both entities as leaders in their respective fields.
