The club announced that former NFL All-Pro Rob Gronkowski and his brothers, along with other NFL greats including Summerville native AJ Green and Clemson alum Brian Dawkins, are all investors and brand ambassadors. Matt “McNasty” Manassee, pickleball coach to the stars who recently finished training Emma Watson in CBS's celebrity tournament Pickled (hosted by Charleston’s Stephen Colbert), has also been appointed Crush Yard's Chief Brand Ambassador. Picklers can expect to see and work with him in Mount Pleasant next year.
