REPORT: Florida State DB Becomes First College Player To Hold Out Due To Lack Of NIL Deal

Welcome to the world of NIL deals and the backlash of certain players not receiving some and being upset about it.

In the National Football League, when a player is upset about his current contract, he will try to use his leverage over the team by holding out of training camp or even the actual season. Well, we are now reportedly experiencing a holdout in the college ranks.

According to Ingram Smith of The Nolecast, the No. 1 FSU football podcast in the nation, Florida State cornerback Jarvis Brownlee seems to be holding out of practice because he has not received an NIL deal from anybody.

Reports suggests that he actually has one in place, but is currently ineligible.

From what I have heard Brownlee did not meet the min requirement of the agreement and as such compensation has either been delayed or will not be occurring.

Jarvis Brownlee thing is tough,you can hold out all you want but risk getting passed up on the depth chart. I like the guy,tough ball player. Just don’t make rash decisions that alter your future over pennies, NIL deals aren’t worth it in the long run. League is the goal.

The reports also seem to suggest that the starter for Florida State last season and four-star recruit out of high school will not be suiting up this spring until that is sorted out.
