Sometimes, the name of a player fits too perfectly with a product they sign up to hawk — remember Jake Butt getting a “butt-load” of toilet paper, or Forrest Lamp teaming up with Lamps Plus? Brands!
Let’s talks about Alabama’s Ga’Quincy McKinstry. His nickname? Kool-Aid (heck, he’s even listed as “Kool-Aid McKinstry” on Alabama’s roster). So guess who gave the freshman defensive back an NIL deal?
Kool-Aid signed with Kool-Aid and it couldn’t make me happier. Did Kool-Aid (the player) know someday he’d be able to make money from Kool-Aid (the brand)? Living the dream, that’s what that is.
