Alabama QB Bryce Young approaching $1M in endorsement deals, says coach Nick Saban
Get paid you man!!…
Alabama football coach Nick Saban hasn't officially named Bryce Young the Crimson Tide's starting quarterback, and yet Saban says that Young is already approaching $1 million in endorsement deals.
According to reports, Saban told the Texas High School Coaches Association's convention on Tuesday that Young, a sophomore, is due to make "ungodly numbers."
While Saban wouldn't divulge the specifics of the deals Young has signed, Saban said the total compensation is "almost seven figures."
"And it's like, the guy hasn't even played yet," Saban said, according to The Athletic. "But that's because of our brand."
Asked at SEC Media Days about Young's potential compensation, Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said, "That number just blew me away.
"He's made $1 million, and he hasn't started a game yet. Wow."
"That's great for him," Kiffin added, then later joked, "He definitely doesn't need to play against us this year."
Young signed a deal to be represented by Creative Artists Agency on July 2 -- the day after the NCAA allowed athletes to profit off their name, image and likeness.

Bryce, if you're listening, just make sure and buy your lineman a steak here and there.

A steak? How about an SUV? Or at least a Harley.

That's the money-line. The whole point of Saban saying this was to push Alabama as a place to earn big NIL dollars. Part of the "adaptation" he talks about in the interview.

I don't think he's lying, but I would be *shocked* if Saban's quip here is completely accurate.
Young may very well get near $1M in deals over the course of this season, but I don't think any of the real big guns are ready to actually commit to these investments *now*.

I think the money IS there and the SEC has plans in place to make sure it is.
Texas and OK moving to the SEC right as NIL takes off is not a coincidence. No one on here is talking about it, but the simple fact is SEC endorsements will bring way more money that Big XII endorsements. There is no way to fight that. So they aren't. They are joining the SEC.
