*Philadelphia, PA —* In a groundbreaking move, UConn’s basketball sensation, Paige Bueckers, has inked two major endorsement deals. The 20-year-old guard, who has taken the college basketball world by
storm, is now the face of both Gatorade and Nike.
**Gatorade Deal:**
Bueckers became the first college player ever to sign a contract with Gatorade³. The multiyear deal solidifies her status as a trailblazer in the name, image, and likeness (NIL) era. While the exact amount remains undisclosed, insiders suggest it’s a lucrative arrangement that will significantly impact women’s basketball. Bueckers expressed her excitement, saying, “I know this is just the beginning of our partnership, and I can’t wait to drive impact in the community and on the women’s game.”
**Nike Partnership:**
Fresh off her Gatorade deal, Bueckers also joined forces with Nike⁴. The global sportswear giant announced a multiyear commitment, extending into her professional career. As she continues to dominate on the court, Bueckers will represent Nike, joining an elite roster of athletes like Serena Williams, Zion Williamson, and Jayson Tatum.
Bueckers’ journey from college phenom to endorsement superstar is a testament to her talent and marketability. With these deals, she’s not only securing her own future but also paving the way for other student-athletes to capitalize on their NIL rights. Expect to see her impact both on and off the court as she continues to make history.
