Georgia Standout Safety Adds Dunkin', T-Mobile To Long List Of NIL Deals
The Georgia Bulldogs are trying to three-peat as college football national champions. In return, they are making plenty of moves off the field with NIL deals coming their way left and right.
Georgia safety Malaki Starks is the latest Bulldog to add some deals to his name, and he has signed new NIL agreements with Dunkin' and T-Mobile, per Pete Nakos of On3.
Starks adds to the long list of partnerships, including Beats by Dre, BioSteel and J.B Grimes. Over the summer, Starks also signed a two-year deal with Associated Credit Union in a local arrangement.
Starks is also participating in an autograph signing on November 12 along with Georgia teammate Daijun Edwards, and tickets and orders are available online.
Starks is a sophomore and has already made waves during his time in Athens. In his freshman year, he had 50 total tackles with a pair of interceptions, and in 2023 he has 27 total tackles with a pair of interceptions. He was named to the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award watch list before the season began, and that award is given to the top defensive back in the nation.
As for the NIL side of things, Starks' agent, Jeff Hoffman, is part of Everett Sports Marketing, the same company that also worked with Georgia stars Stetson Bennett and Brock Bowers and the Caivender twins, formerly in Miami (FL) and Fresno State.
North Carolina Tar Heels basketball star Armando Bacot is another big name who has an NIL partnership with Dunkin'.
Malaki Starks has begun the Dunkin' campaign by putting 'Team Dunkin' on his Instagram bio.
