The Aggies finished 9-1 last season and missed out of the college football playoff bracket, coming in at No. 5. A&M is poised for an equally successful run in 2021.
Because of that success, the Aggies could be targeted for endorsement deals.
Endorsement deals are quickly becoming the norm, as Arkansas wide receiver Terry Knox recently signed an 'NIL' endorsement deal with PetSmart according to Tera Talmadge of Pig Trail Nation. Alabama wideout Traeshon Holden reportedly signed an agreement with Yoke Gaming, per Nick Kelly of the Tuscaloosa News.
