Oregon star pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux is certainly taking advantage of new Name, Image and Likeness laws.
According to a report from ESPN, Thibodeaux has cleared over $400,00 so far in endorsement deals. His latest commitment is with United Airlines in a marketing deal, per Kyle Bonagura.
“Partnering with United Airlines was a no-brainer for me, as they are a premium brand with the same core values as I have,” Thibodeaux said in a statement to ESPN. “I look forward to a long-standing relationship with United.”
The deal with United will also include direct flights from Eugene, Oregon to Columbus, Ohio for the highly-anticipated matchup between Ohio State and Oregon this September.
Thibodeaux has also signed a deal with Nike to create his own NFT (non-fungible token).
Thibodeaux is projected to be one of the best players in all of college football this season. The former 5-star recruit has registered 23.5 tackles for loss and 12 sacks in his first two season (20 games) with the Ducks.
He’s also widely expected to be a high pick in next year’s NFL Draft.
Oregon will face Ohio State on Sept. 11.
