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: Travis Hunter
Sport: Football
School: Colorado
Brand: United Airlines

The deal: Colorado’s dual-threat cornerback and wide receiver is partnering with United Airlines to promote its new flight routes between popular college towns. Hunter (above), a projected top pick in the 2025 NFL draft, will appear in social media spots throughout the season, and he released his first post for the partnership recently with a video on Instagram.
