WATCH: $1.7M NIL-valued Quinn Ewers scores big with Hulu deal as he appears in a national commercial
Quinn Ewers is quite the national phenomenon. Ahead of the Texas Longhorns QB's junior season, he increased his earnings with a major NIL deal with Hulu. He will also appear in a national commercial which will air throughout the year.
While the commercial is yet to go live, the video has emerged on social media platform X, previously Twitter. In the 40-second commercial, the talented QB looks sharp in bright green to promote Hulu's multiple features.
The commercial also shows Ewers portraying cutting cables as a difficult task made easier when his "coach" details the benefits of the popular streaming platform.
Hulu deal adds to the growing list of NIL Deals for Quinn Ewers
While the value and full terms of Hulu's NIL Deal are yet to be disclosed, it adds to an impressive portfolio of deals for Ewers. Besides Hulu, he has also signed deals with C4 Energy, Beats by Dre, Texas One Fund, shoe company HeyDude and Nicholas Air, a private jet company.
He also made headlines as a cover star for EA College Football 25 alongside Donovan Edwards and Travis Hunter, which is the first licensed NCAA Football video game in over a decade. This NIL deal exceeded a valuation of over $200,000.
Excluding the Hulu deal, Ewers has raked in $1.7 million in NIL valuation, which is the fifth highest among all college football players and sixth among all athletes.
His teammate Arch Manning, who deputizes at QB for the Longhorns, ranks second among college football players and third overall on the list with a valuation of $3.1 million despite his limited game time in 2023. Colorado Buffaloes star and Deion Sanders' son Shedeur Sanders, who has a massive $4.8 million NIL valuation as per On3, currently tops the list overall.
Ewers will be keen on having a successful 2024 season with the Longhorns. He is touted to be a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and an excellent season won't only raise his stock, but possibly draw more NIL deals in the future.
The Longhorns will also be counting on him in their first season as part of the SEC. Ewers' junior season with the Longhorns begins on August 31st with a game against the Colorado State Rams.
