Chipotle Partners with Ohio State Athletes in Unique NIL Deal
Chipotle Mexican Grill is partnering with Ohio State University to give walk-on and scholarship student-athletes free Chipotle during the 2024-2025 academic year. Nearly 1,000 athletes will receive a personalized card that gives them access to one free entrée a week for 15 weeks. The quick-service restaurant (QSR) has deep ties to Ohio State, ranking the university among the top five in Chipotle consumption.
“With so many Buckeyes routinely visiting our High Street restaurant on campus and our strong connection to the Columbus community with a Restaurant Support Center in the Arena District, we wanted to pursue a partnership that would increase access to real food for all student-athletes at OSU,” says Chris Brandt, Chief Brand Officer at Chipotle. “Typically, only a few star athletes secure NIL deals and brand partnerships, but we wanted to reward all Buckeyes with real ingredients to support their pursuit of academic and athletic excellence.”
Ohio’s running back, TreVeyon Henderson, is featured in an advertisement for Chipotle, along with wide receiver Jeremiah Smith and cornerback Denzel Burke. Archie Griffin narrates the ad, highlighting the traditions Ohio State Football fans hold dear.
