The Maroon and Golden Collective is proud to announce the signing of 20 prominent student athletes to Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL). These deals bring the total number of athletes signed by M&G Collective to 22, including last month’s signing of Ben Bell and Tory Spears.
This is a major development for Texas State Football and was critical to the retention of athletes from entering the transfer portal.
These deals were made possible with the direct donations of TXST football fans, learn more and get involved at Maroon and Golden NIL Collective.

“What NIL means to me is that it gives the athletes a chance to benefit off the field from what they are capable of doing on the field. Not only does it help us athletes financially, but also gives us the ability to get involved with the community and help their businesses grow. It’s an amazing feeling knowing that the community has our back” –Joey Hobert
