Glen Logan signs NIL deal with the WWE
Could we see an LSU defensive tackle wresting in the near future?
According to the WWE, Glen Logan was one of the 15 athletes to sign a NIL deal with the company. They refer to it as “Next In Line” but make no mistake this is a Name, Image, and Likeness deal.
WWE’s NIL program was announced last week following the NCAA’s historic new policy that took effect on July 1, 2021, which has ushered in the NIL era, allowing college athletes the ability to monetize their name, image and likeness. The comprehensive program serves to recruit and develop potential future Superstars and further enhances WWE’s talent development process through collaborative partnerships with college athletes from diverse athletic backgrounds.
All athlete partnerships will feature access to the state-of-the-art WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Fla., in addition to resources across the organization, including brand building, media training, communications, live event promotion, creative writing and community relations. Upon completion of the NIL program, select athletes may earn an exclusive opportunity to be offered a WWE contract.
Logan played in just six games this season while trying to recover from his foot injury. He recorded 10 tackles, 1.5 TFL, and one sack. Going the route of the WWE might be in his future if Logan doesn’t get the call to the NFL.
