The USC football team has lost two games in a row and is suddenly filled with rumors regarding both Caleb Williams and Lincoln Riley. Still, they can turn things around if they win a few games to finish out this season. Off the field, Trojans wide receiver Brenden Rice, the son of NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, has inked a unique NIL deal with Breathe Right nasal strips, per Jeremy Crabtree of On3.

The younger Rice mentioned how special it is to be tied to his dad in this way during a statement release: “I’ve seen the ad of my dad wearing Breathe Right so many times, and now it’s really cool to be following in his footsteps and working together on this partnership with Breathe Right.”

The current USC football WR and Colorado transfer also showed a photo of Jerry wearing the nasal strips:

Both Brenden and Jerry will be part of the agreement with the company in a rather unique partnership, and Jerry also expressed how special this partnership is: “I know firsthand that the strips can be used in all sorts of situations. For me, it was on the football field or while training. I’m thrilled to once again be working with the brand, this time alongside my son, Brenden, who is paving his own path as a player, but has become a Breathe Right user like me.”

Brenden Rice has 486 yards on 28 catches and eight touchdowns for the USC football program this season after catching 33 balls for 437 yards and just two scores last season, so he is definitely on the rise in the talented USC offense.
