Spencer Rattler Inks NIL Deal With Mercedes-Benz Dealership

Quarterback Spencer Rattler still has an impending NFL decision, but the South Carolina star is still cashing in on NIL opportunities.

Money talks. That is the prevailing storyline in college athletics over the past year. It talks to coaches, players, recruits, and boosters.

No one knew what to expect when NIL passed in July 2021. There were few regulations or sanctions provided to universities or prospects; the market became a free-for-all, with no one sure what was happening.

One theme has emerged in the past several weeks. If a quarterback with a reputable name doesn't get a favorable draft evaluation, they can return to school and actually make more money off NIL than if they went professional.

That may be the case for quarterback Spencer Rattler. He's one of the most recognizable faces in the sport, yet he dealt with inconsistencies for two consecutive seasons.

His play took him out of the top of mock drafts, but the talent is undeniable. An NFL franchise would take a swing on the arm talent in later rounds, but that may be the wrong decision financially for Rattler.

South Carolina is attempting to communicate that to Rattler. On Wednesday afternoon, On3 reported that Rattler signed an agreement with a South Carolina Mercedes-Benz dealership.

South Carolina quarterback @SpencerRattler has yet to make a decision on his NFL future.

But in the meantime, he's cashing in on his major #NIL brand. He just inked a partnership with Dick Dyer Mercedes-Benz. #SpursUp 🤙

He will appear on Saturday at the dealership to sign autographs. This isn't the first partnership he's secured in the past few weeks, as he recently announced a deal with Twyneo, a brand that sells acne medication.
