Greg Kerkvliet, Nick Dawkins Land NIL Deal With WWE
Two-time All-American Penn State wrestler Greg Kerkvliet and Penn State football offensive lineman Nick Dawkins have landed Name-Image-Likeness deals with WWE through its “Next in Line” program, as announced by WWE CCO and former wrestler Triple H.
Kerkvliet and Dawkins are among the third class of 15 college athletes to join the program. The WWE has signed 46 college athletes to its “Next In Line” roster, dating back to December 2021.
The selected partners will gain access to the state-of-the-art WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, as they undergo development from the program. The two Nittany Lions may earn a WWE contract, depending on their performance over the course of the program.
In December 2022, Penn State football hosted an appearance by WWE superstars Big E and Omos. The event was held to educate players on the “Next In Line” opportunities.
