BREAKING: WVU Quarterback Scott Kean Secures Historic $55 Million Endorsement Deal with Samsung, Donates $11 Million to Youth and Orphan Charities
Morgantown, WV — In a monumental moment not just for West Virginia University football, but for the entire landscape of collegiate athletics, Mountaineers quarterback Scott Kean has inked a groundbreaking $55 million endorsement deal with global tech giant Samsung—one of the largest NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) agreements ever recorded.
At just 21 years old, Kean has not only electrified fans on the field with his precision passing and fearless leadership, but he’s now making headlines across the nation for his impact off the field.
In a remarkable show of generosity, Kean has pledged $5 million of his new earnings to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, a nationally recognized organization that supports after-school programs and youth development. Additionally, he is donating $6 million to The Mountaineer’s Haven, a regional orphanage that provides housing, education, and care for children without families.
“Football has given me everything—discipline, purpose, and a platform,” Kean said in an emotional press conference on Monday. “But my success means nothing if I can’t use it to lift others. I want every kid to know their circumstances don’t define their future.”
Samsung executives called Kean a “once-in-a-generation talent with the character to match,” citing his leadership and authenticity as key reasons for the partnership. As part of the deal, Kean will serve as the face of several new Samsung campaigns, including initiatives focused on education and youth empowerment through technology.
WVU head coach Neal Brown praised Kean not just for his athletic achievements, but for his heart: “Scott isn’t just building a legacy in the record books—he’s building one in the hearts of people. This is what being a Mountaineer is all about.”
The announcement has sparked a wave of support and admiration on social media, with fans, teammates, and celebrities commending Kean for his commitment to making a difference.
Already a Heisman front-runner and one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in college football, Kean’s bold philanthropy adds a powerful new dimension to his rising star.
As he leads the Mountaineers into a promising season, one thing is clear: Scott Kean is more than a football player—he’s a force for good.
