 Draft Scout College Football Player News


  In the new world of college sports that began Thursday, Alabama's likely starting quarterback this season will have an agent. Bryce Young has signed with CAA Football for his marketing deals, Yahoo Sports reported Friday. On3 Sports added Young will be represented by agent Ed Berry. Later Friday evening, Young announced his first endorsement deal with CashApp. Under new state laws and NCAA rules allowing athletes to profit off their names, Images and likenesses, college athletes can be represented by agents in striking endorsement deals -- but not future professional contracts.

The NFL Players Association reminded its agents this week that "an NIL contract should not include any terms that require or condition any NIL terms on the player later hiring that Contract Advisor for NFL contract services." A freshman last season, Young is not eligible for the NFL draft until 2023. Nonetheless, Alabama's starting quarterback now has a business relationship with one of the most powerful agencies in professional football, headlined by well-known agents Jimmy Sexton and Tom Condon. Former Alabama quarterback Mac Jones is among a long list repped by CAA in the NFL. There is significant money on the table for Young in possible social-media marketing, as he has the most Instagram followers and third-most Twitter followers of any Tide player. Before Friday, Young had not tweeted since 2019. - Birmingham News
