Did Jalen Milroe make a career announcement before the upcoming rivalry game against Tennessee? This season, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe has captured significant attention, establishing himself as one of the standout stars in college football. In 2023, Milroe made some significant contributions, leading the Crimson Tide to a college football playoff. Similarly, this season, Jalen Milroe has picked up right where he left off.

While Alabama Crimson Tide is preparing for their rivalry game against Tennessee Volunteers, DeBoer’s quarterback has signed an exclusive NIL deal. The Heisman Trophy contender Jalen Milroe has appeared in all six games this season. He has thrown for 1,483 yards. He also scored 23 touchdowns, out of which 11 were on the field and 12 were in the air. His significant contribution has helped Alabama with a 5-1 record.

Although he has faced criticism for his recent performances against South Carolina. His NIL valuation is not going down. Alabama’s quarterback has signed a NIL deal with Panini America. Panini America is the official trading card company for the NFL, NBA, WNBA, WWE, NASCAR, and collegiate sports. According to On3, his collaboration makes him the latest college football player to secure a trading card deal. Currently, his On3 valuation is $2.5 million. Panini has also announced that Alabama and Milroe fans can look forward to seeing Milroe’s trading cards in their upcoming college products.

Jalen Milroe’s excitement about partnering with Panini America can be reflected through his statement. “Growing up as a kid, you always dream of having your own trading card. I’m excited to partner with Panini to have my own trading cards and be a part of a company that has so many popular trading card brands with college football fans.”

Panini America has also collaborated with Arch Manning and Texas shooting guard Tre Johnson. Last year, Panini also collaborated with USC receiver Zachariah Branch. The company also has a deal with Washington’s WD Rome Odunze and Alabama’s rival Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton. Let’s discuss Quaterback’s other NIL deals.

Jalen Milroe’s expanding NIL portfolio

Milroe is a prominent figure in college football. He was leading the Heisman Trophy race two weeks ago. Crimson Tide’s victory against Georgia solidified Milroe’s position in the race. However, after defeating their strongest opponents, no one imagined that the tide would turn to Vanderbilt. And guess what? Their performance against South Carolina raised many questions, and it is also one of the reasons why Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, and Ashton Jeanty surpass him.

According to On3 Sports, Jalen Milroe has secured numerous NIL deals, including one with Beats by Dre, which he generously shared with his teammates after Fall Camp concluded. The players have collaborated with many popular brands like Rhoback, HeyDude shoes, Yea Alabama, EA Sports, and Six Star Pro Nutrition. Additionally, just before the season started, he signed another partnership with Celsius, which was expected to provide him with the energy for the 2024 remaining CFB season.

The particular brand has gained significant popularity among college students. According to Tide 1009, the NCAA has previously raised concerns regarding energy drinks, particularly Celsius, due to conflicting reports about the presence of banned substances in the drink.
