Shedeur Sanders, Son of Deion Sanders, Becomes First Collegiate Ambassador of Beats By Dre
|
Posted By: Kennedy Williams on September 02, 2021 Four-star football recruit and youngest son of Deion "Primetime Sanders" is making history of his own. JSU freshman quarterback Shedeur Sanders has just made it official and signed a deal with "Beats by Dre" making him the first collegiate athlete to represent the brand. Since the NCAA cleared student-athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness back in July, many college players have jumped at the opportunity to pair up with some of their favorite companies. In a recent interview with People , Sanders express just what the monumental decision meant for student athletes like him. “People don’t understand how much work and how much time you put into the game,” Sanders told People in a recent interview. “Stay late at the school just going over film, going over plays, as much time and hard work it is that’s put into this and that we’re able to be rewarded now, it feels amazing.” Shedeur, who originally committed to Florida Atlantic, ultimately decided to follow in his father's footsteps and attend Jackson State University, where his father is the head football coach. While his father may have played a role in choosing JSU, Shedeur is determined to forge his own path and lead his own legacy. “You got to make something for yourself and that’s my main thing every day at the end of the day,” he explains. “I know when I turn 21 I’m on my own, so it doesn’t matter what pops did, it matters about me and what I’ve done in this world and what I did with my lifetime. Because I got the opportunity to do a lot of things.” If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
