Colorado State Rams quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi and wide receiver Tory Horton both turned down NIL offers in the thousands of dollars to remain with their current team.
It is not easy to turn down some of the wild NIL offers that are reportedly out there for college students. Colorado State head coach Jay Norvell said Wednesday that quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi and wide receiver Tory Horton came to him and told him of the NIL offers they received — some of them exorbitant.
Same thing with Brayden. Brayden had the same kind of offers. If you have enough evidence, you can prove it. But a smoking gun’s a smoking gun. He said a guy from Kansas State called him, offered him $600,000 because they lost their quarterback if he got in the portal.' Norvell is not blaming Kansas State for the offer because he understands this is the way college football works now.
There is a lot of opportunities out there, but, at the end of the day, I’m a 20-year-old kid with higher goals in life than to make money in college. As much of a blessing as that would be and set myself up for a long time, I think if I do my job here, and we get it done and perform like how we know we’re supposed to, I think there are several people on this team that will be taken care of for life after college.
