Deja Kelly gives teammates, coaches custom Beats by Dre headphones as part of NIL deal

Posted Jun 17, 2022
North Carolina women's basketball standout Deja Kelly signed a sponsorship deal with headphone maker Beats by Dre back in March, adding to her impressive list of NIL endorsements. And Kelly recently shared the love with her team by providing each of her teammates and members of the coaching staff a pair of their own Carolina blue headphones.

The kid got a sweet NIL deal. Next: she hooked up her circle…teammates and coaches. The words got me.
And now, my ears travel in style. Boom. Gratitude @dejakelly25 pic.twitter.com/1FB6eGYjlG— Courtney Banghart (@CoachBanghart) June 17, 2022
