Former Ohio State running back Trey Sermon has signed a deal with Nike just a couple of days before his name ultimately gets called in the 2021 NFL draft. The announcement came via Twitter from his sports agency, Element Sports Group.
No official conditions are known, or likely will be known, but it appears to be a multi-year deal according to the announcement.
Sermon joins Buckeye quarterback Justin Fields in the endorsement landscape. Fields signed a deal with C4 Energy Drink just last week. There have been no other Ohio State players confirmed as signing any sort of deal with the foot and sports apparel behemoth.

Sermon is not expected to go in the first round, but he more than put himself on the radar as a potential first-half of the draft pick with an end-of-the-season run not seen very often.
Congrats on taking another step towards some pretty amazing dream come true moments for Ohio State’s all-time single-game rushing holder.
