Tennessee football’s David Sanders Jr. put a portion of his NIL earnings to good use by giving $20,000 to his alma mater’s football program last week, using a partnership with XTech Pads to donate equipment and shoulder pads to the Providence Day School football program. “Having the opportunity to give back to my alma mater has been a dream come true,” Sanders told On3. The relationship between Sanders and XTech Pads dates back to his senior year of high school. ‘I wanted to take some initiative and help them out’Sanders isn’t the only Tennessee football player to donate NIL money this summer. In total, Rouse committed to buying 115 practice jerseys for the Etowah Youth program.
