Nike officially announced UCLA soccer's Reilyn Turner as the first college athlete to sign a NIL deal with the company.
The sophomore forward was one of Bruins' leading scorers last season and also won the Pac-12 freshman of the year award in 2020 when she led the entire conference in goals.
Turner, a native of Aliso Viejo, Calif., is also part of the United States women's national team setup with the U-20 squad.
“As a Black woman and Mexican American, I think about those who have paved the way for me and how they used their platforms to create so much change, even beyond sport,” Turner said in a statement.
