Jackson State defensive end becomes first college athlete to sign endorsement deal
Hours after college athletes across the country were officially able to profit off their name and likeness, Jackson State defensive end Antwan Owens made NCAA history.
Owens on Thursday — just after midnight — became the first athlete to sign an endorsement deal.
As first reported by Sports Illustrated, the Georgia Tech graduate transfer inked a deal with 3 Kings Grooming, a Black-owned hair product business.
“Somebody pinch me!” Owens said. “This is something that’s going to be life-changing, generationally life-changing.”
