Brooks Pins NIL Deal with NEGLEY’S WATER
Penn State’s Aaron Brooks Signs NIL Deal with NEGLEY’S WATER
Penn State senior Aaron Brooks has pinned an NIL deal. The two time collegiate national wrestling champion from North Hagerstown High School in Maryland has signed a two year partnership with NEGLEY’S WATER, a water treatment, pumps and well drilling company with several locations in PA, MD and WV. In the summer of 2021 the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) decided to let athletes be paid for the use of their names, images, and likenesses (NIL).
Brooks is a four time MD state champion under Hub’s Coach Greg Slick, a Cadet World Champion and a Junior World Silver Championship Medalist. At Penn State, under Coach Cael Sanderson, Aaron is a two time B1G Champion and a two time National Champion. Brooks has Olympic Gold in his sights and after twice besting 2021 Olympic Bronze medalist Miles Amine, Brooks is more focused than ever.
“I’m proud to announce my partnership with NEGLEY’S WATER. I choose to partner with NEGLEY’S, because it is rare to find a great company that has intentions of continuing to better themselves everyday, “ said Aaron Brooks. “NEGLEY’S looks to better themselves in every platform that they have been blessed with. This is something that I value and also try to emulate in my everyday life. I am a big believer in surrounding yourself with those who have the same drive and values as I do. When I chose to partner with NEGLEY’S, I made the perfect choice.”
“Obviously, Aaron is a terrific wrestler, but it’s how he carries himself on and off the mat that impressed us most about him,” said Trent Stumbaugh, VP of NEGLEY’S WATER. “His values align closely to our company values and we admire his character and integrity along with his many physical attributes. Aaron is a positive influence to so many, including NEGLEY’S. We’re proud to be part of his journey.”
Beyond wrestling and the Olympics, Brooks has aspirations of returning to Hagerstown to help foster positive change.
