The world of NIL is a very strange place. College kids are getting more money than they’ve ever seen in their life and are getting extra perks too. That’s the case too with Ohio State football players, and C.J. Stroud is the newest one to get something sweet out of an NIL deal.

Stroud will be cruising around in a new Bentley worth about $150,000 as part of a new NIL deal. This is certainly an upgrade from whatever car he was driving before. This is a man who is about to make a lot of money in the NFL next season, so it’s just one year early on the nice car.

Stroud probably deserves more NIL money than anyone else on the Ohio State football team by virtue of being the starting quarterback at a place like this. He is the face of the program and is also one of the best players in the country, not just at his position but in all of college football.

I’m sure this won’t be the last nice car that Stroud cruises around in before his football playing career is over. He potentially could be the number one overall pick in next year’s NFL Draft, so he’s going to have a lot of money to spend very soon.

dark. Next. Ryan Day still has to catch up to Urban Meyer

Stroud will be focused on winning college football games this season though, not what’s going to happen in the future. He knows that if he does well on the field this year his future will take care of itself. All he has to do is keep doing what he did at the end of last season.
