Florida Football Recruit Uses NIL to Surprise Mom with New House
Florida football defensive lineman D'Antre Robinson put his NIL earnings to good use. The growing space of NIL has changed player's lives and will do the same for their families as these athletes look to give back to them.
Robinson, a 3-star recruit in high school, according to 247Sports, hasn't played a game yet in college. However, the Florida native has already made enough NIL money to buy his mom a house.
He surprised his mom with the new home on Valentine's Day, reportedly using his NIL earnings to buy it.
His mom's reaction says it all, showing her gratitude for what her son just did.
Taking care of a parent is a dream for some. Being able to give their parents a home is something that will never be forgotten about.
According to the On3 NIL Valuation, Robinson has a NIL valuation of $111,000. According to On3, he signed a deal with Florida Victorious. The details of that contract are not known.
The freshman will make more money, too, as he continues his college career.
Stories like this are why NIL deals should've always been allowed. Parents do whatever they can for their student-athletes to succeed and they should've been able to help them out one day, too.
Buying a home already is a promising sign for Florida recruits. As they look to build their football program back to one of the best in the nation, having enough NIL money to buy a house before playing a game will be a great selling point.
