She turns 11 on Thursday and that’s the day she’ll begin play in the U.S. Kids World Golf Championships at Pinehurst in North Carolina.

Tyler Rebber hit his stride early into the 2020 baseball season at Bishop State, batting over .400 through the first seven games. He was well on his way to achieving his next goal, that being the opportunity to continue his career at a four-year school.

Then the COVID-19 pandemic happened. It left the former Navarre Raider’s future clouded in uncertainty.

Auburn quarterback Bo Nix has an endorsement deal with Milo’s. Fresno State twin basketball stars Haley and Hanna Cavinder are endorsing Boost Mobile. LSU volleyball player Lexi Sun has her own clothing line.

Those scratch the surface of the opportunities college athletes are cashing in on with the NCAA allowing them to profit off name, image and likeness.
