As of now, there is no verified information confirming that Texas Longhorns linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. has secured a $50 million shoe deal with Nike. While Hill has been actively involved in Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities, including a notable $8.5 million multi-year extension and memorabilia deal with Panini America, there is no public record of a $50 million endorsement with Nike. This Panini deal, announced in April 2025, is significant in the NIL landscape, especially considering Hill’s commitment to donate 30% of the earnings back to the Texas football program .
Nike and the University of Texas have a longstanding partnership. In 2015, they agreed to a 15-year, $250 million licensing and apparel deal, which at the time was the largest in college sports . However, this agreement pertains to the university as a whole and does not specifically involve individual athletes like Hill.Β
While Hill’s rising prominence and marketability suggest potential for future high-value endorsements, there is currently no substantiated information regarding a $50 million shoe deal with Nike.Β
