Dr. Dre
Before the 2023 college football season began, Beats by Dre decided to call a big play. The audio software business announced the opening of its "Beats Elite" class, which had 15 players from throughout the country, just before Week 0. Daniels is a member of this first class that included notable players like Michigan quarterback JJ McCarthy and the current Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams, among others.
Powerade
Powerade is kicking off another campaign ahead of college football season by signing Daniels and four other athletes to deals as part of its "It takes more" ad campaign. The campaign's first commercial is scheduled to debut in September 2023, with more ones to broadcast throughout the season, according to Sports Business Journal.
Raising Cane's
For the past several years, Raising Cane's has made significant investments in the NIL landscape, striking agreements with players including Georgia quarterback and former national champion Stetson Bennett, Florida State's Trey Benson, the Cavinder Twins, and LSU's Angel Reese and Flau'jae Johnson.
It makes it obvious that the chicken company has targeted LSU athletes given its Baton Rouge location. Daniels was the most sensible player for Cane's to sign given his excellent 2022 season as the starting quarterback and the Tigers' position in the top five in preseason rankings, according to the Boardroom.
