Following Week 3 of the 2025 college football season, Georgia and Texas players are part of a new NIL campaign. Two stars from each team inked NIL deals with Mediterranean fast-food chain CAVA.

UGA quarterback Gunner Stockton and tight end Oscar Delp are on board, as are Texas running backs CJ Baxter and Tre Wisner. They will participate in social media campaigns through the deal, including “The Shawarmup,” which launched Monday.

“Our work with top college football athletes reflects CAVA’s ongoing commitment to providing real, nourishing food that supports performance at the highest level” said CAVA chief experience and marketing officer Andy Rebhun in a statement to On3. “As they chase greatness on college football’s biggest stage, we’re fueling their journey with bold, nourishing meals that keep them performing their best.”

CAVA was founded in 2006 and has more than 380 locations across the country. Yellow Dot Sports Marketing helped facilitate the deals.

“CAVA’s become a staple in my routine,” Stockton said in a statement. “It fits right into my day—whether I’m grabbing something quick after practice or fueling up before a workout, it’s always clutch.”

CAVA calls in Georgia, Texas star power

Gunner Stockton is coming off his best game as Georgia’s starting quarterback so far as the Bulldogs took down Tennessee in an overtime thriller at Neyland Stadium. He threw for 304 yards and two touchdowns while adding 38 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground to lead the charge.

Off the field, Stockton has been active in the NIL space as he got ready to take the reigns of the UGA offense. He recently inked deals with the Athens Area Humane Society and HeyDude Shoes as part of his growing portfolio. Stockton has a $789,000 On3 NIL Valuation.

CJ Baxter and Tre Wisner, meanwhile, are part of a talented Texas running back room. Through three games, Baxter leads Longhorns RBs with 110 rushing yards while Wisner ran for 80 yards in his lone appearance in the opener against Ohio State. Wisner has a $553,000 On3 NIL Valuation while Baxter sits at $282,000.

Both players are currently dealing with injuries, though. Steve Sarkisian said Baxter is expected to miss this week’s game against Sam Houston State and Wisner missed last week’s game against UTEP.
