The NCAA’s NIL (Name Image Likeness) policy has been an incredibly complex topic since it was first announced in back in 2021, but quotes like these remind us of the difference it helps make in athlete’s lives.

During College Football Playoff Media day yesterday, Texas Longhorns wide receiver Adonai Mitchell shared his appreciation for the new NIL landscape of college athletics, explaining that it allows him opportunities to take care of his loved ones, namely his two year old daughter Icylinn. 🔥

“I got her a (play) kitchen. That’s her favorite thing. I’ll call her and she’s like, I’m making carrots. Girl, you can’t make carrots,” Mitchell said. 🥺

FUN FACT: Mitchell has already won two championships with the Georgia Bulldogs, and is looking to win his third in a row with the Texas Longhorns this season. 👀
