Nearly 10 years after taking the internet by storm as the side-eyeing “Popeyes meme kid,” Dieunerst Collin is back in the spotlight as a budding college football player with his eyes set on something entirely different: an NIL deal.
Collin’s journey since his viral Vine video from 2013 has led him to Lake Erie College, where the 19-year-old offensive lineman recently wrapped up his redshirt freshman year. On Sunday, Collin again went viral after Twitter users became aware of his whereabouts thanks to a tweet pointing out the potential for a dream collaboration with the fast food chain.
