One of the upsides of the NIL era is that we’ve seen some really creative deals done between businesses and players. My personal favorite was Decoldest Crawford partnering with a local Air Conditioning company to capitalize on his unique name.
Now, unfortunately for SOS Heating and Cooling, young Mr. Crawford has transferred back home to Louisiana Tech, so they’ll need to find a new spokesperson. But I’m sure there’s a local HVAC company in Ruston that will want to hire him.
For now, let’s ponder what could be…
1. QB JT Daniels, Rice
Sponsor: Atlas Van Lines
It’s only fitting that the former five-star quarterback gets endorsed by a moving company. After all, he’s now on his fourth school, and has gone from California to Georgia to West Virginia and now to Texas.
2. DB Kool-Aid McKinstry, Alabama
Sponsor: Kool-Aid
Do I really need to spell it out for you? The outstanding defensive back’s nickname since birth makes for a natural pairing. The ad campaigns are endless.

3. LB Harold Perkins, LSU
Sponsor: Terminix
Simply put, Perkins is an exterminator on the field. As a freshman, you could make a great case that he was the all-around best defensive player in college football. He’ll kill any offensive, simply put.
4. RB Blake Corum and RB Donovan Edwards, Michigan
Sponsor: Doublemint Gum
The old adage “Double your pleasure, double your fun” is the perfect moniker for the best backfield duo in the country. Not only are they perfect complements to one another, but both have great personalities that would pop in a commercial.
5. QB Cade Klubnik, Clemson
Sponsor: ServPro
The company known for coming into clean up messes after a storm is the perfect metaphor for what the highly touted sophomore has to do. He’ll need to clean up the mess left by DJ Uiagalelei in order to get Clemson back to the promised land.
