Alabama quarterback Bryce Young signed his latest NIL deal on Thursday, becoming the latest athlete to work with Beats. It didn’t take long for Young to treat his teammates, giving every Crimson Tide player a set of headphones.

He followed the same path as USC‘s Caleb Williams and his teammates were appreciative. Similar reactions seem to be happening in Tuscaloosa — at least from defensive back Malachi Moore.

Moore posted his reaction to having a set of headphones waiting for him in the locker room, instantly getting hype. He went over to Young to thank his quarterback, even giving him a hug. The two shared the moment in the Crimson Tide locker room, seemingly before practice had begun.

To say the least, Moore really enjoyed the gift. You can watch the full reaction from Moore here.

Young has always been complimentary of his teammates when speaking to the media, singing their praises as often as possible. Now, he’s showing his appreciation through a little gift giving and once again proving that NIL can be a real positive thing inside college football.
