Former Alabama tight end O.J. Howard apparently has signed an endorsement deal with Nike.
Howard announced the deal on his private Facebook account Monday.
“Excited to official join Nike Football!” Howard wrote. “Dreams do come true, patience is a virtue. #Blessed #Thankful #ThankUGod”
Howard did not disclose the terms of the deal.

Nike doesn’t appear to have made any announcements about any new signings to date.
Last year, three then-Alabama rookies – running back Derrick Henry, linebacker Reggie Ragland and defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson – signed Nike deals.
