Missouri QB Brady Cook capitalizes off strong season with NIL deal from Charlie Hustle
Missouri quarterback Brady Cook has capitalized on the Tigers’ unforgettable 2023 season with another significant NIL deal.
Cook landed a new agreement with vintage clothing company Charlie Hustle. The partnership is the 38th NIL deal Charlie Hustle has executed with players across the country this season.
In the gear released on Tuesday, Cook’s image is featured on shirts in front of Missouri’s iconic columns with the words “King of COMO” on the front. Its symbolic Cook is featured in front of The Columns. The six pillars originally supported Mizzou’s first campus building – Academic Hall. After a fire destroyed Academic Hall in 1892, the Columns were all that remained. Now, they are a testament to Mizzou’s shared history and a symbol of the school’s collective strength.
Strength and overcoming adversity are two things that have highlighted Cook’s career.

While the algorithm includes deal data, it does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals athletes have completed to date, nor does it set an athlete’s NIL valuation for their entire career.
