Colleges Can Now Officially Offer 2026 Athletes Revenue-Sharing Deals, Defensive Tackle Deuce Geralds Will Commit Saturday

A somewhat notable milestone in college athletics arrived on Friday.

Starting on Aug. 1, college teams can officially offer senior student-athletes revenue-sharing deals. Not that numbers haven’t been discussed beforehand, but those are all unofficial conversations. Athletes are able to officially sign the offers on National Signing Day.

Ohio State sent out official offers to its 2026 commits on Friday, though it’s unclear whether actual figures were officially offered yet to each athlete or if these were scholarship offers only for now. Several commits posted their offers to their social media pages, which we’ve compiled below.

A dream to reality, Im beyond blessed for the opportunity to become a Buckeye and play for the team I rooted for growing up, a HUGE thank you to everyone whos supported me along the way!
