WWE Signs 14 Athletes To NIL Program

Designed to provide a pathway from collegiate athletics to the WWE, the program is celebrating its two-year anniversary by signing two of the nation’s top-ranked wrestlers in two-time All-American Lucas Davison from the University of Michigan–and former Big 12 champion Stephen Buchanan from the University of Oklahoma. WWE also championed that its newest NIL class also includes their first acrobatics athlete (Bayley Humphrey from Baylor University), first baseball player (Adam Berghorst from Indiana State), and first male cheerleader (Slane Glover from Ohio State). Similar to Jim Ross’ philosophy when he helped replenish the WWE talent pool, the program finds highly competitive collegiate athletes looking for an opportunity in pro wrestling.
