Mario Craver Cashes In with Cards and C4
Texas A&M wide receiver Mario Craver, already second in the SEC in receiving yards, has secured two new NIL deals this season with Panini America and C4 Energy. After a standout performance featuring an 86-yard touchdown and 207 receiving yards against Notre Dame, Craver’s pace has him on track for a historic campaign, potentially one of two Aggie receivers to reach 1,000 yards. Panini America will produce trading cards of the explosive transfer, while C4 Energy hopes to fuel his blinding speed. Through eight games, Craver has tallied 40 receptions for 716 yards, four TDs, plus six rushes for 65 yards and another score.
In a world where college athletes moonlight as collectibles and caffeine endorsements, Craver is the living embodiment of “If you’ve got it, you can brand it.” Next he might sign a deal with cleat polish or a burrito wrapper—anything to help maintain his warp-speed theatrics on the field and in the marketplace. College football is no longer just tackles and touchdowns; it’s a carnival of sponsorships where your highlight reel ends up as breakfast cereal. Congratulations, Mario: you’ve single-handedly turbocharged the offseason transfer portal into a full-blown sponsorship rodeo.
Coach McMillan’s Shooting Spectacle
In his first year at Texas A&M, head coach Bucky McMillan is glowing about his team’s “unbelievable” practice and two scrimmages. After an exhibition win over Arizona State, McMillan praised the Aggies’ joyful play, noting a record-breaking shooting display that, in his words, would have won a national title if replicated. The squad sank 13 threes and scored 95 points in scrimmages, showing bench depth and slowing turnovers. McMillan also emphasized team culture, sending newcomers to Midnight Yell to embrace the 12th Man spirit and bond the roster with the fanbase ahead of the Nov. 3 home opener.
There’s something magical about a coach proclaiming practice was so good it defies logic—and probably physics. If basketball fundamentals were fairy dust, McMillan just sprinkled a lifetime supply all over Reed Arena. Meanwhile, the scrimmage defense apparently looked like it was auditioning for a Houser‐built rundown. But fear not: the true measure of success will hinge on whether this “joy in his heart” can withstand half-court traps and rival teams who didn’t get the memo to play “friendly hoops.” Let’s hope reality matches his hype… or at least gives us a good laugh.
