Emery Jones inks new NIL deal with John Deere dealer
Playing along the offensive line is a gritty position. What better name, image and likeness deal could there be for one than a company that makes work equipment?
LSU starting right tackle Emery Jones inked a new NIL deal with Sunshine Quality Solutions, a John Deere dealership, according to On3 NIL reporter Pete Nakos. The marketing push has apparently been dubbed the “Gator Campaign.”
“Emery grew up in Louisiana and he knows what we love down here in the Bayou, we can’t wait to promote our John Deere Gators with his twist of adding in football,” Sunshine’s marketing manager Grace Vest said in a statement, per On3. “His campaign is even going to make the Swamp People folks watch twice.”
This isn’t Jones’ first NIL deal, as he also agreed to a partnership with Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys last August.
Jones appeared in all 14 games as a true freshman last fall, starting the final 12 at right tackle. He’s been named to the Outland watch list alongside his true freshman counterpart on the left side from last season in Will Campbell.
