Allstate Pledging Largest NIL Payment to College Football Players for Outstanding Community Impact
This is the largest NIL investment yet for community impact by a college football sponsor—and insurer. Unlike other recent NIL announcements, Allstate is financially empowering players in recognition for their work in local communities, not just their performance on the field. Community leadership aligns with Allstate's values and is part of its longstanding commitment to creating positive societal change.
"Every year, the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team embodies the best of college athletics. These players have a positive impact in society," said
Highlights of the roster include:
- Vanderbilt linebacker
Elijah McAllister who participates in superhero-themed events and raises funds for pediatric cancer research through Turner's Heroes - South Dakota defensive lineman
DeValon Whitcomb who works withThe Simple Foundation to provide opportunities for underserved youth programing that cultivate life skills and promote physical and emotional well-being - Clemson running back
Darien Rencher who volunteers with Call Me MISTER, an initiative to increase the pool of available teachers from more diverse backgrounds - USC Quarterback
Mo Hasan who works with his teammates to distribute food to the homeless
"We dedicate resources to financially empower people," said
"Throughout the 30 years of the Good Works Team, we have honored individuals who create lasting impact in their communities and at school," said AFCA Executive Director
