Degree Deodorant launches campaign set to endorse 14 NCAA standout athletes
allowing compensation for college athletes.
Degree has assembled 14 athletes to appear and be endorsed on its #BreakingLimits team after the NCAA adopted new name, image and likeness (NIL) policies last week. The team is made up of a diverse group of college athletes who have inspiring back stories, encouraging others to break limits. Several of the athletes are All-Americans.
The athletes on the team include:
-
Adrian Martinez, University of Nebraska football player
-
Asjia O’Neal, University of Texas women’s volleyball player
-
Bailey Moody, University of Alabama wheelchair basketball player
-
Cam Mack, Prairie View AM men’s basketball player
-
Chayla Edwards, University of Wisconsin women’s ice hockey player
-
Emma Hoffart, Missouri Western State University softball player
-
Jazmyn Foberg, University of Florida women’s gymnast
-
Jhenna Gabriel, University of Texas women’s volleyball player
-
Lawrence Sapp, University of Cincinnati para swimming athlete
-
Logan Eggleston, University of Texas women’s volleyball player
-
Matt Henningsen, University of Wisconsin football player
-
Mitchell Pehlke, Ohio State University lacrosse player
-
Nimari Burnett, University of Alabama basketball player
-
Saquan Singleton, University of New Mexico men’s basketball player
The #BreakingLimits campaign also is looking to expand and is asking college athletes nationwide to share stories over Instagram of overcoming personal or societal challenges. That public search for an additional roster spot on the #BreakingLimits team begins Wednesday and runs through July 14 and will be announced in August.
Degree is planning to commit more than $5 million over the next five years to initiatives encouraging others to break limits and inspire moving forward.
