Quinn Ewers Signs NIL Deal With Athletic Brewing Co. 

Brett Patzke-USA TODAY Sports

Front Office Sports keeps you updated on the latest NIL (name, image, and likeness) deals shaping college sports. Here’s who is cashing in now:

  • Athlete: Quinn Ewers
  • Sport: Football
  • School: Texas
  • Brand: Athletic Brewing Co. 

The deal: A college athlete and a beer company may not be the most responsible NIL partnership, but the Texas quarterback (above) is making it work with a nonalcoholic beer brand. Ewers, who is sixth on On3’s NIL 100 with a valuation of $1.7 million, signed a deal with Athletic Brewing Co. earlier this week, and put out his first social post for the brand Thursday. In August, Ewers had two other high-profile brand partnerships with Dr Pepper and Hulu.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
