Quarterbacks JT Daniels of Georgia and
Sam Howell of North Carolina have signed “significant” name,
image and likeness (NIL) deals with Super Glow Trading Cards.

Dan Everett, an agent who represents
both of the college football stars, confirmed details of the
agreement to ESPN’s Dan Murphy on Sunday.

“Both guys have a significant
six-figure guarantee,” Everett said. “If they’re playing
well and their teams do well, this could turn into a seven-figure
opportunity by the end of January.”

The contract includes a 50 percent
royalty on every card sold and an additional $100 for each card
they autograph, per Murphy.

Daniels released a statement through
his agent to confirm he’s planning to give half of his revenue from the
cards to his Bulldogs teammates.

“I understand the vital role my
teammates have played in allowing me to be in this position,”
he said. “That is why it is so important that I share half
of my earnings from this deal with the guys who got me here.”

Both quarterbacks entered the 2021
season garnering some Heisman Trophy hype, but neither was at his best in Week 1.

Daniels completed 22 of his 30 passes
for 135 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in UGA’s 10-3
win over Clemson in a battle of Top Five teams.

Howell went 17-of-32 for 208 yards with
one touchdown and three picks in a 17-10 upset loss on the road to ACC-rival
Virginia Tech. He added 35 rushing yards.

Both quarterbacks, who could be
first-round picks in the 2022 NFL draft, will look to get back on
track Saturday when the Dawgs host UAB and UNC holds its home opener
against Georgia State.

Meanwhile, their NIL deals showcase the substantial progress made toward creating a lucrative market for
college athletes following NCAA deregulation.
