Michigan State quarterback Anthony Russo has reportedly signed a name, image and likeness (NIL) deal with College Hunks Hauling Junk.
Russo — who transferred from Temple this past offseason — spoke with Chris Solari of The Detroit Free Press on his new deal where he’ll serve as a company spokesperson and endorser. The same company signed Miami (FL) D’Eriq King to an NIL deal worth $20,000 immediately when the rule went into place, but Russo won’t be making as much as King.
“It’s been chaos, but it’s definitely an awesome opportunity,” Russo told Solari. “I know we have a lot of guys taking advantage of it. And I think if we have a good year — when we have a good year, I should say – I think it’s just gonna help guys get more and more opportunities. So I’m just happy I could enjoy it for my last year of college.”
