“We’re taking a bet with Caleb and hopefully he crushes it and a lot of good can come from that,” Ross Walker, who is a managing partner at Hawkins Way stated. “But we legitimately want him to learn and to provide him opportunities. We bring a lot of real estate investments, but we can also be a sounding board for him. He can talk to us. We can give him objective advice. It’s really an investment in this kid,” he further stated.

Williams has also got existing NIL deals with Beats by Dr. Dre, Ac+ion Water, Fanatics, and more. Last summer, the updated NCAA NIL policies came into effect and instantly, it has aided innumerable college athletes to earn a lot more.
