STORRS, Conn. — Two UConn basketball stars have gained another endorsement from a big brand, and this time, it's close to home.
UConn women's star player Paige Bueckers and men's center Donovan Clingan have both signed on to share their names, images and likenesses (NIL) in a partnership with Dunkin'.
Both will be part of the "Team Dunkin' Roster," making appearances at events and "sharing their experiences on social media."
There are student-athletes from 17 different teams from colleges and universities all over the country that are part of Dunkin's partnership.
“In today’s demanding college landscape, Dunkin’ is proud to support powerhouse student-athletes like Paige Bueckers and Donovan Clingan, fueling their pursuit of excellence both on and off the court,” said Michelle McDonough, Dunkin’ Field Marketing Manager. “Our collaboration goes beyond just a product; we’re excited to champion the student-athletes who uplift and inspire their community and keep UConn fans running on Dunkin’ all season long.”
This is not Bueckers' first NIL partnership. She has been endorsed by Chegg, Gatorade, and CashApp, to name a few.
Last year, UConn's women's forward Ice Brady signed on to be part of the "Team Dunkin's Roster."
