Michigan State football QB Anthony Russo the latest to capitalize on name, image, likeness

Anthony Russo is on the move.

Not from Michigan State football, though. He just arrived in East Lansing in January and hopes to land the starting quarterback job when camp opens in a few weeks.

Instead, the Spartans’ graduate transfer quarterback signed a name, image and likeness (NIL) deal Wednesday with College Hunks Hauling Junk, Russo told the Free Press. The Tampa, Florida-based moving firm signed Miami (Florida) QB D’Eriq King, another transfer, to a precedent-setting contract July 1 when new NCAA rules allowing college athletes to make money as company spokespeople and endorsers went into effect.
