We’ve another name, image and likeness deal to report for one of the stars of the Ohio State football program. Wide receiver Emeka Egbuka has reportedly signed a deal with Amazon Style.
We don’t know what exactly comes with that, but we’re guessing some discounted or free clothes. One thing we know is a part of the deal is a rather large, well-positioned billboard with Emeka’s … wait for it … image and likeness over the store at everyone’s favorite hangout spot in Central Ohio, Easton.
There has been an awful lot of effort put into restructuring and improving the name, image and likeness opportunities through the various collectives associated with Ohio State, and because of it, we’re seeing more and more athletes entering into arrangements in and around the community.
Look for this billboard next time you visit Easton, and get a preview by means of the below post shared to X (formerly Twitter).
