One of the coolest parts of being a D1 college basketball player was getting the chance to work with different brands through NIL.

Most of these weren’t about money—they were product-for-post deals or just unique experiences. But they were all things I genuinely appreciated and didn’t take for granted.

Here are some of the NIL deals I was lucky to be part of:

🏌️‍♂️ Golf Brands (Pluto Golf, Sunday Golf, 69 Golf, Lucky Golf)
I reached out to these brands to build something mutually beneficial. I got:
• Free golf shoes from Pluto Golf (love their designs)
• A $400 Sunday Golf cart bag
• A 69-degree wedge from 69 Golf for flop shots
• Two wedges from Lucky Golf

All just for creating content. Nothing crazy, but as someone who loves golf, it was a win.

🦾 McDavid Sleeves
I’ve worn McDavid sleeves ever since I chipped my elbow in high school. Reaching out and getting to work with a brand I’ve used forever was a full-circle moment for me. They sent me sleeves and gear, and hopefully there’s more to come.

💇‍♂️ 🧴 Slick Gorilla & W
Slick Gorilla helped me through the awkward hair stages with some product (and even paid me for a post). W sent over body wash, deodorant, and spray for a quick video. Cool to work with both smaller and bigger names.

🌯 Currito
This was my first-ever NIL deal back in 2021. They made me their first athlete—free food, gear, and a visit to their Cincinnati HQ. It was small but special because it was the beginning of NIL for me.

👕 PSD & Happiness Project
Both brands sent free gear in exchange for posts. Quick and easy partnerships with brands I liked.

🚁 Helicopter Ride
One of the wildest things I got to do through NIL was fly in a helicopter to help promote a housing development. Plus, we got free food and $1,000 for helping out.

🪂 Skydiving
Boston Skydive Center gifted me and Sierra a free skydiving trip for a little promo. Something I never would’ve done without NIL opening that door.

⸻

NIL wasn’t just about money—it gave me opportunities, experiences, and connections I never would’ve had otherwise. Super grateful for it all.
