UT senior athlete and three-time NCAA championship player Madisen Skinner has accepted H-E-B’s first-ever name, image, and likeness deal.

What is a NIL deal? Taking a NIL deal gives a right of publicity for a brand to use a college athlete’s name, image, and likeness to promote products. In turn, the athlete profits from brand sponsorships.

Skinner is currently ranked as the fifth-best player nationally in points per set, according to the NCAA.

Skinner already has an event lined up to celebrate the deal — she’ll appear at Popham Elementary School in Del Valle ISD on Tuesday, Sept. 3 to present a $10,000 donation to nonprofit Brighter Bites, followed by to-be-announced appearances with UT and H-E-B.

Plus, get ready to see her on your TV screens, because she already has ad slots filmed.
