Texas Quarterback Ewers Inks NIL Deal with Private Jet Company
Quinn Ewers joins Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart as NICHOLAS AIR athletes
Earlier this year, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers made the decision to forgo the NFL draft and play one more season in Austin. With that choice, Ewers opened the door to continue to add to his already impressive NIL deal resume, as one of the most marketable players returning for the 2024 season.
This week, the Heisman hopeful inked a deal with NICHOLAS AIR and became the second athlete to enter a NIL partnership with a private air travel company. The Ewers signing follows Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart who partnered with NICHOLAS AIR - the only private aviation company engaged in the NIL - in February.
Ewers expressed enthusiasm towards the partnership, "I’m fired up for my new partnership with NICHOLAS AIR. It is a first-class organization and a perfect match for my travel needs. Their attention to detail and commitment to high-level service for their Members is second to none. Proud to represent their brand."
According to the brand, Ewers will collaborate with NICHOLAS AIR on various marketing initiatives, promotional campaigns, and community engagements, and gain access to their impressive jet fleet.
NJ Correnti, Founder and CEO of NICHOLAS AIR, commented on the addition of Ewers to their NIL marketing efforts, "We are really excited to welcome Quinn to the NICHOLAS AIR family. He’s got exceptional talent and is the type of leader and player that makes college football exciting to watch. We look forward to seeing Quinn excel on the field and seeing him onboard with NICHOLAS AIR."
Headquartered in Oxford, Mississippi, NICHOLAS AIR boasts one of the largest fleets of private aircraft in North America, including Phenom 100, CJ3+, Phenom 300E, Citation Latitude, Challenger 350, and Gulfstream G600 models. While the partnership with Dart appeared to be a local deal, the expansion deeper into SEC territory signals that this NIL campaign may soon reach even more quarterbacks in the conference.
