The restaurant chain Hooters is dipping its toe in the NIL game, as it has reportedly signed a number of college football players to name, image and likeness deals.
And they’re all offensive linemen.
Among the list of players to sign, seven of them play for the Tigers: Kimo Makane’ole, Lanson Smith, Fitzgerald West Jr., Miles Frazier, Marcus Dumervil, Xavier Hill and Kardell Thomas. Two of them — Frazier and Dumervil — are in the mix for starting jobs as fall camp winds down.
Frazier is a transfer from Florida International expected to win one of the starting guard jobs, while Dumervil is a sophomore who was a rotational piece last season but could expand his role this fall. Coach Brian Kelly said that he has missed part of fall camp with an ankle injury.
This may not be the most conventional NIL deal, but the bag is the bag, and LSU’s linemen won’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
