Mississippi State quarterback Will Rogers will be cashing in on a NIL deal with a popular BBQ chain that his offensive linemen are sure to love.
According to WCBI-TV’s Jon Sokoloff, Rogers has come to an agreement with Moe’s Original BBQ, which has locations in 14 states, including 1 in Starkville.
Sokoloff reports that the agreement, which extends throughout the entire season, will allow Rogers to be a sponsor of the Starkville location. Rogers, in turn, along with his entire offensive line, will enjoy free meals at the restaurant each Thursday.
We know the size of offensive linemen and how much they can put down in one sitting, and now, Rogers’ OL will have a little added motivation to keep him clean in the pocket on a weekly basis.
The Bulldogs take on N.C. State on Saturday. Kickoff from Davis Wade Stadium on ESPN2 is set for 7 p.m. ET.
