One of the MOST unique NIL deals you will hear about an athletes name.
In the world of NIL, companies are grasping athletes left and right to be the face of their product. Since NIL, you hear a multitude of articles saying some athletes make millions and others getting multiple deals. Some athletes reached usual franchises and others can find distinctive ways to snag a deal.
For one Nebraska Cornhuskers football player, he might have just landed one of the most unique NIL deals ever. If you do not believe me, then keep scrolling down to find out!
Who Is The Player?
That my friend is wideout Decoldest Crawford and he is a true freshman for Scott Frost and the Cornhuskers. Crawford was a three-star prospect who was ranked top 20 in Louisiana and top 80 receivers in the country. The former LSU commit chose Nebraska over Auburn, Texas, and Florida after re-launching his recruitment.
The incoming freshman signed a legit NIL partnership this week. Becoming the new spokesperson for local HVAC company SOS Heating & Cooling, company announced Tuesday.
Now, this is not the first NIL deal that collaborates with an athlete’s name. Alabama’s Ga’Quincy ‘Kool-Aid’ McKinstry signed an NIL Deal with the drink company before his freshman season. Of course, the defensive back’s NIL deal is because of the nickname given to him throughout the years.
That is why the NIL deal by Decoldest is miles more notable because it is his actual first name from birth. Now, if you are asking me would I name my future son like that? Probably not, but there is always a way in life to find perks.
This right here is a huge benefit for the young wideout for Nebraska. It is only a matter of time until he is a partner with Shaq on the Icy Hot commercials or even in a remake music video for “Ice Ice Baby“.
