He has been named to Tampa Bay Business Journal’s 30 under 30 list and the Tampa Bay Times named Higgins as one of the top 10 difference makers in the Tampa Bay area. In addition, Higgins was named to one of Tampa Bay Business Journal's Power 100 for the last three years, while also earning the prestigious Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal “Forty Under 40”. He is also recognized as one of the most influential sports figureheads in the history of Tampa Bay by CBS Radio, one of the top-10 most influential people in Tampa Bay by WTSP 10 News, and Huffington Post listed Higgins as one of the top-30 sports marketers in the world.
