Super Bowl-Bound Purdy's Iowa State Jersey Sold to Support Cyclones NIL
Former Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy is on his way to the Super Bowl as he helped lead the San Francisco 49ers to a win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday night. The 24-year-old threw for 267 yards and one touchdown on 31 pass attempts.
Purdy was the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, making his story even more incredible. His numbers at Iowa State were impressive, but no one expected him to do what he's done in the NFL. His best season was in 2019 when Purdy threw for 3,982 yards, 27 touchdowns, and nine interceptions for the Cyclones.
As Purdy's remarkable journey leads him to a Super Bowl, Iowa State fans all over the world have shown their support. Now, fans can buy a Purdy legacy jersey and directly benefit current Iowa State student-athletes.
Cyclone and 49ers fans can buy the stylish jersey for $99 via Campus Ink's NIL store. It features Purdy's #15 and the Iowa State logo above the number.
The jersey supports Iowa State's WeWill Collective, an NIL collective of the university. WeWill Collective has partnered with over 30 local non-profits and organizations around central Iowa, per their website. Make-A-Wish, Special Olympics, and Food at First are just a few of the many local places that the student-athletes have worked with.
The school's top NIL valuation, according to On3, is men's basketball player, Omaha Biliew. Biliew's NIL valuation is listed at $437 thousand.
However, eight out of the 10 top NIL valuations according to On3 are on the football team.
