Four Buckeyes are a little bit happier tonight after The Foundation, a third-party collective co-founded by Brian Schottenstein, announced a $550,000 name, image and likeness deal for C.J. Stroud, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, TreVeyon Henderson and Denzel Burke.
The deal calls for Burke and Henderson to promote American Eagle Outfitters while Stroud and Smith-Njigba will do the same for Designer Shoe Warehouse. In addition, Stroud will work with Value City Furniture.
The quartet will also work with A Kid Again, Buckeye Cruise for Cancer and LifeTown Columbus, The Foundation's partner charities. One instance of that engagement will occur on August 22 as all four players participate in a fundraising event.
According to a report from Joey Kaufman of The Columbus Dispatch, local agency NIL Management represented the players in the deal.
