Indiana junior forward Anthony Leal gave his sister a special Christmas gift this holiday season, surprising her by paying off her student loans with money he’s earned through name, image and likeness (NIL) deals as a basketball player for the Hoosiers.
The present from Anthony to his sister Lauren included a handwritten card from her brother.
“You’re a spark of goodness brought into the world,” Anthony wrote. “You radiate kindness and bring happiness to so many people, especially me. I wanted you to know how much I look up to you and admire you. Your soul is beautiful and you are the best role model ever.
