Kentucky Football players sign NIL deal with local school district

Here’s a name, image, and likeness (NIL) deal we haven’t seen yet. Kentucky Football’s John Young and Octavious Oxendine have agreed to a partnership with the Paris City School District. The two players, both Kentucky natives, will serve as ambassadors for the district and make appearances throughout the school year.

“We are excited to announce the first partnership between a Kentucky school district and collegiate student-athletes,” Paris City Schools Superintendent Stephen McCauley said in a press release. “John and Octavious are not only two standout athletes but they are also tremendous young men who are great examples for all of our students to show how far hard work and determination can take you.
