Six Georgia Bulldogs have announced a name, image and likeness (NIL) deal with Nike. Each Bulldog will play an essential role at their respective positions in 2026, and the players now find themselves as the newest members of the Nike family following the announcement. 

Georgia football has the third-most players in the nation under contract with Nike, sitting behind just the LSU Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide. Georgia tight ends Kaiden Prothro, Elyiss Williams, inside linebacker Chris Cole, cornerback Ellis Robinson, safety KJ Bolden and wide receiver Talyn Taylor are the six Georgia players who will represent the brand moving forward. Five-star UGA commit Jaxon Dollar announced a deal with Nike. The talented tight end would debut in Athens during the 2027 season. 

It is unclear how much the NIL deals are worth.

Georgia will enter 2026 as one of the top teams in the nation following an excellent year in 2025. Prothro and Williams will play a significant role both on the ground and through the air this season, while Bolden and Robinson are widely regarded as two of the top defensive backs in college football. Dollar landed a deal with Nike following his stellar performance at The Opening Finals in early July, as the rising star has continued to flash his potential at the high school level. 

Each player has proven to excel both on and off the gridiron following Nike’s announcement, and the Georgia football stars will look to dominate across 2026.
