Boasting the GOAT Usain Bolt, Jamaica is one of the greatest producers of track and field athletes. Continuing the greatness of the nation, another star is emerging through the NCAA ranks and promises to become a major force in the coming years. The youngest Bowerman Awardee has even received a thumbs up from the Olympic Medalist Noah Lyles.

The 19-year-old recently saw his NCAA eligibility tenure come to an end, and in continuous pursuit of greatness, he announced to enter professional athletics. Only a few days passed, and he had bagged a huge partnership with a $6 Billion sports brand. And fans can’t keep calm over his momentous achievement.

Jayden Hibbert is one of the most promising young track and field athletes coming out of the NCAA ranks. As he completed his studies at the University of Arkansas, Jayden left with the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and NCAA triple jump titles in his lap. And now only a few days after turning pro, the 29-year-old has partnered with multi-billion dollar sportswear company PUMA. “NIL ▶️ PRO💨. Super excited for this journey with THE FAM! @pumarunning @puma.Thanking Christ Jesus for this amazing opportunity!❤️ Praying that He alone will be glorified!“, he announced via an Instagram post.

Jayden also received a special set of yellow-colored running boots, which he proudly displayed in a series of pictures along with a PUMA jersey. The former Kingston College athlete had also signed a Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deal last year in July with Puma. With fans waiting for his professional debut, the internet was abuzz with celebrations over Jayden’s mouth-watering achievement.

“Forever proud of you brodie”, an ardent Jayden fan expresses his love. Last year in May, the then 18-year-old broke a 38-year World Record for the under-20 triple jump category with a breathtaking lap of 17.87m at the SEX Championships. A fan witness to that wrote, “Stay healthy and the sky is the limit Kid! So proud of you after first taking your picture in Costa Rica with the record-breaking jump that day in NACAC! “

Jayden got into vertical jumping very late and got his first structured training during his final year of high school. But even in such a short time, he has become one hell of a force. “One wonderkid”, a fan wrote, and we couldn’t agree more. With the 29-year-old about to set foot on the professional arenas, fans wish nothing but the best for the Jamaican star.
