Various Alabama players sign NIL endorsements deals with brands

These Alabama football players have already signed endorsement deals!

Despite the NCAA Board of Directors passing an interim name, image and likeness policy just yesterday, college athletes all across the country have been signing endorsements deals with millions of dollars going to students who would have been penalized for doing so just a few days ago.

One of the biggest brands in all of American sports is the University of Alabama. So, naturally, members of the Crimson Tide football team have begun cashing in.

Wide receivers Traeshon Holden and Agiye Hall, offensive lineman Evan Neal, linebacker Chris Allen and defensive back Demarco Hellams have all signed deals with online brands such as Yoke and CFBE,

Star quarterback Bryce Young has also signed a deal. He has decided to partner with Cashapp, but details as to what the partnership entails have nt been made public.

Young has also reportedly signed on with CAA Sports agency as contract advisers for the second-year college student.

Trevor Lawrence lands new endorsement, this time from cryptocurrency app

Trevor Lawrence has agreed to terms with the cryptocurrency investment app Blockfolio, which paid him his signing bonus in cryptocurrency.

Presumptive No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence continues to add endorsement deals to his repertoire. The quarterback already secured a contract with Gatorade, and he has now reportedly signed an agreement with another company, this time with cryptocurrency investment app Blockfolio.

Though the specifics of the deal aren’t available, it is a multi-year contract. According to a report from the New York Times, Lawrence’s “signing bonus” was paid in cryptocurrency, which is apparently worth more now than it was when it was first deposited on Friday.

This historic deal represents a move from cryptocurrency companies to break into the sports world. Recently, Blockfolio’s parent company, FTX, bought the naming rights to the Miami Heat arena.

Lawrence is one of the top quarterback draft prospects of all time, and he’ll almost certainly see more deals like this one as his career progresses.
