It still feels weird to watch an advertisement with a current college football player, but with the emergence of NIL it has become more frequent and the most recent Ohio State player to gain a big brand deal is Caleb Downs. The Alabama Crimson Tide transfer was an All-American last year and big things are expected of him for the 2024 season as well.
Today the Ohio State X account released a video of Downs walking around and warming up with a Buckeye themed pair of Beats by Dre headphones. Ohio State has a ravenous fanbase that loves to spend money so there are few spots better for an athlete to utilize NIL than Columbus, Ohio.
Talk of the town for a reason. 📍@Caleb_Downs2 is ready to lock em down with @Beatsbydre.#GoBucks #BeatsPartner #BeatsElite pic.twitter.com/KMpHYxx54C

We expect you to now rush out and get you a pair of these. After all, if Downs is using them, so should you.
