Jacobi “Cobi” Francis delivers tailored insurance strategies for athletes, entertainers, and high-net-worth individuals whose careers demand more than off-the-shelf coverage. As an Insurance Specialist in the Sports & Entertainment division at Hotaling Insurance Services, he helps clients protect their performance, preserve income, and secure long-term legacies. Whether it’s structuring multi-million-dollar career-ending disability coverage or coordinating wealth transfer planning for rising stars, Cobi ensures his clients are positioned to thrive on and off the field.
Before joining Hotaling, Cobi played professionally in the NFL with both the Houston Texans and Minnesota Vikings. That firsthand experience gives him more than just credibility, it gives him foresight. He understands how one injury, one contract, or one public misstep can impact everything. This unique perspective, coupled with his academic background, a Master’s in Sports Law and a Bachelor’s in Sports Management from the University of Memphis, equips him to anticipate risks and build strategies that traditional advisors often miss.
Many of Cobi’s clients come to him underinsured or with policies that no longer reflect their earning power or evolving lifestyle. He helps them close those gaps, educating them along the way so insurance becomes a proactive strategy, not just a checkbox.
Outside of work, Cobi is an avid golfer, enjoys exploring different cultures, and thrives on building genuine relationships with clients, colleagues, and new connections alike.
Whether you’re signing your first major deal or planning for the next phase of your career, Cobi Francis delivers the insight and protection your lifestyle demands. Reach out to start building a strategy as ambitious as your goals.
