Look: Kansas Football Walk-On Signs Awesome NIL Deal

November 16, 2021 by The Spun

Kansas walk-on Jared Casey celebrates a game-winning two-point conversion over Texas.

Redshirt freshman Jared Casey became an instant folk hero in the state of Kansas during this past Saturday’s stunning upset win over the Texas Longhorns. With the Jayhawks going for the two-point conversion to win the game in overtime, the walk-on fullback reeled in a pass to seal the game at 57-56 in favor of Kansas.

Now just a few days later, Casey is reaping the benefits of his late-game heroics.

As reported by Kansas insider Jesse Newell, the Jayhawks’ savior is shooting local TV ads for Applebee’s.

When the NCAA first introduced its new name, image and likeness (NIL) rules earlier this year, the change was only expected to affect the elite players around the college sports world. But, Casey’s story is a prime example of how anyone can capitalize on these new opportunities.

Heading into Saturday’s game against Texas, Casey had never logged a single offensive snap in his collegiate career. Walking out of Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium after the game, he’d given the Jayhawks their first win over the Longhorns in Austin in program history.

Before taking the field this past weekend, the Jayhawks were 31-point underdogs and had just one win on the season. With a winless season in 2020, the last time the Kansas program had more than three wins in a season was all the way back in 2009.

Despite these struggles, the program will no doubt remember this fairytale upset for years to come.
