CORVALLIS, Ore. -- DJ Uiagalelei walked to the back of Oregon State's media room, looking for an off-switch to stop the music still blaring from a photo shoot with visiting recruits.
After a brief search, he found the right button and took a seat as the room fell silent. Uiagalelei doesn't need a soundtrack for the next phase of his college career. He experienced the glitz of being a five-star recruit for an upper-crust program, and was then anointed as Clemson's next great quarterback, following Trevor Lawrence and Deshaun Watson. Uiagalelei was among the first group of high-profile college athletes to benefit from name, image and likeness opportunities, reaching deals with Dr Pepper, Bojangles and other brands.
