Purdue Basketball's Sasha Stefanovic Joins Video Chatting Platform VIDSIG
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue guard Sasha Stefanovic wasted no time using his social media to pursue opportunities for payment relating to his name, image and likeness. On Friday, he officially partnered with VIDSIG, an online video chatting platform that allows users to speak to athletes, consultants and more.
Stefanovic will make money through live chat sessions and sending personalized video messages.
The 6-foot-5 guard from Crown Point, Indiana, averaged 9.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game during the 2020-21 season. He made 41.6% of his shots from the field, including 50-of-125 of his 3-point attempts.
Stefanovic was recognized as an Academic All-Big Ten honoree last season. So far, he is the second Purdue basketball player to earn a deal relating to his NIL. On Thursday, Jared Wulbrun joined Stock Risers to write weekly blogs.
As time continues to pass with NCAA-approved NIL policies in effect, more players will begin to announce partnerships with various companies and brands. Boilermaker athletes will also continue to take advantage of their opportunities.
