I thought they had to wait until they signed or enrolled.

This is a local HS NIL deal. Has nothing to do with Mizzou. Car gets returned when he graduates.

Zollers has another NIL deal

quote:

According to a report from On3, Zollers has inked an NIL deal with Leaf Trading Cards.


quote:

Matt Zollers is currently ranked the No. 5 quarterback in the country for the 2025 class. He brings elite potential to the table and Missouri was lucky enough to get a commitment from him.


quote:

While he is expected to do big things on the field in the future, he is already making major moves in the NIL market.


quote:

Zollers is just the latest college or high school athlete to get a trading card deal done. He follows behind players like Florida quarterback DJ Lagway, USC quarterback commit Julian Lewis, Tennessee quarterback commit George MacIntyre, and 2027 quarterback Peyton Houston by getting a deal done with the card company.

The market for HS kid trading cards has to be huge!

Seriously, I don't see how this model makes money.

They are betting the kids make it to the NFL. We used to want "Rookie Cards" now collectors can get HS cards
