LSU Offensive Tackle Has NIL Deal That Paid For Him To Go On An Alligator Hunt

Living the dream in more ways than one. LSU offensive lineman Will Campbell has it pretty good as a college football player right now. The Tigers are 5-1 on the year, and he's raking in money and other benefits from NIL. If you are confused as to what Name, Image and Likeness is at the college level, just think of it as this... All the stuff that universities used to do secretly and under the table for their student-athletes can now be done out in the open. So now, modern day players like Campbell are living their best lives. On game days, he gets to play the sport he loves at a college that's historically known as a powerhouse - and he gets paid to do so through NIL. On his off days, he gets to "go to class" and enjoy some of the benefits that NIL offers, and he typically gets paid to participate in those benefits through NIL. Campbell currently has an NIL deal with Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys, and part of that deal involves the standout offensive lineman showing off different parts of Louisiana's culture. In one of the most recent examples of that, the LSU player got to go alligator hunting in the swamps of Louisiana, and remember, it didn't cost him a dime. He actually got paid to do this: https://twitter.com/getGordon/status/1846248530471502130 That video is just a short highlight reel of sorts. There's a longer, 11-minute version that showcases the entire trip that Will Campbell got to take to the swamp (and I'm not talking about a road game against Florida). Again, it's one of the coolest NIL deals you'll ever see, but if I were a head coach, I don't know how I'd feel about one of my best players going gator hunting. Looks like everything went according to plan though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doxdo9xl2xw
