Kai Trump follows in Travis Kelce, Livvy Dunne's footsteps with NIL bonanza
While she is not in college yet, future University of Miami golfer Kai Trump has made an NIL deal, which means she will join Travis Kelce and Olivia 'Livvy' Dunne as part of a top brand.
Trump's ever-growing portfolio has added another partnership. She has become a brand ambassador and equity partner of Accelerator Active Energy, meaning she joins Kelce and Dunne as part of the brand.
'I love energy drinks,' Trump told NIL Daily on Sports Illustrated. 'They fit into my daily lifestyle pretty well[,] and honestly, it was a very natural partnership. I just can't wait to continue working with them[,] and the team is amazing. The product fits my daily lifestyle very well.'
Trump is the granddaughter of President Donald Trump. She also discussed being part of the same brand as Kelce and Dunne, two top-tier athletes.
'I'm really looking forward to just like meeting them in person, picking their brains,' she revealed. 'I met Livvy actually the other day at the airport — funny enough — and she was super nice. They're both amazing athletes[,] and obviously[,] a lot of people look up to them. I'm very lucky and excited to be alongside them working with the Accelerator, so I'm looking forward to it.'
Kai Trump joins Travis Kelce and Livvy Dunne as a NIL brand ambassador
Trump is making moves before she heads to the University of Miami to play golf. She is in her senior year of high school, and she will subsequently head to college after.
To date, she has partnerships with TaylorMade and Leaf Trading Cards. Accelerator Active Energy is the latest brand to partner with her.
Previously, Accelerator nabbed Kelce and Dunne as brand ambassadors. Kelce praised the former LSU gymnast, calling her an 'awesome' person.
Dunne was one of the major players when it came to NIL. She was a driving force behind the movement, and she was the first NIL athlete signed by WME. Since then, she has landed countless brand deals and is the face of several campaigns.
That was done as she started her career at LSU. Dunne has since finished her time on the Tigers' women's gymnastics team. Her journey with NIL was spotlighted in The Money Game: LSU on Prime Video.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Video: Paul Wesley Calls This Week's Shatner-Esque Performance ‘A Wink to the True Fans' — Watch
Warning: This post contains spoilers for Thursday's . This week's Star Trek: Strange New Worlds introduced us to the cast of a fictional 1960s sci-fi TV show… and the star of that show sounded very familiar. More from TVLine The Challenge Premiere: Cara Maria Sorbello Breaks Down That 'Wild' First Challenge, Why [Spoiler] Was Eliminated Leanne Morgan Tees Up Her Netflix Comedy From EP Chuck Lorre, Reveals How Her Real-Life Husband Feels About TV Hubby Ryan Stiles The Challenge 41's Cara Maria Sorbello Names the One 'New Threat' Who Was 'Built for Destruction' Paul Wesley — who plays James T. Kirk on Strange New Worlds — played frustrated actor Maxwell Saint, the star of the very Trek-like TV show The Last Frontier, and Saint's preening, halting delivery was quite reminiscent of William Shatner's infamous acting style on the original Star Trek series. (Any Trekkie would recognize that cadence anywhere.) Wesley's Kirk is generally a different, more grounded take than Shatner's was, but when Wesley read this week's script, 'I realized immediately what an opportunity it was to give the viewers a satirical, more humorous version of what I could have done,' Wesley tells TVLine in the video above. He lists 'the pause in the cadence,' 'the gesturing' and the 'Shakespearean elements' as hallmarks of the 'James T. Kirk that we all know from the '60s. And I thought, 'Well, here it is. Let me do it for you now.' And I had an absolute blast doing it… I didn't want to overdo it, but I also wanted to do enough where it was a wink to the true fans.' Speaking of overdoing it, Wesley admits with a laugh that he had to dial back the Shatner-isms at times: 'We did, obviously, a bunch of takes. And so there were variations in the pauses, where the pause is like, 'Is he gonna say his next line?' And then we settled on sort of the moderate one.' The Last Frontier's flimsy sets and rubber-masked aliens were a tribute to the analog glories of the original Trek, too, Wesley adds: 'If you watch [the original Star Trek], the Gorn episode, for example [Season 1's 'Arena'], they're throwing Styrofoam rocks at each other, right?… Obviously, in the '60s, they didn't have special effects or VFX, and they couldn't digitize things, and so we wanted to have fun with making the sets so clearly a set, and just sort of like that absurdity, yet imagination and beauty, of something that is a 1960s futuristic set for television.' So Trekkies, what'd you think of Wesley's… … … performance? Beam down to the comments to give us your thoughts on this week's episode.

Spurs rookie Carter Bryant hit the gym with Klay Thompson, others
San Antonio Spurs rookie Carter Bryant was among the players who recently linked up for a private offseason workout at Academy USA in Glendale, California. Bryant joined the likes of Spencer Dinwiddie, Tari Eason, Kessler Edwards, Evan Mobley and Klay Thompson in the session organized by NBA trainer Olin Simplis. The group was spotted playing 5-on-5 in the video clip by Swish Cultures. The 14th pick was also on the court with Collin Murray-Boyles, who was the ninth overall pick by the Toronto Raptors. The appearance was the first for the two rookies since debuting with their respective teams in summer league. Bryant logged six appearances with the Spurs earlier this month, averaging 7.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.2 assists on 28.6% shooting from the field. He wrapped up his stay with a 16-point, five-rebound performance on July 17. The 19-year-old is highly touted for his scoring potential, playmaking and ability to defend multiple positions, traits that were each on display in summer league. He also proved to be a reliable floor spacer after connecting on at least two 3-pointers in 12 games last season at Arizona. Bryant is projected to have the chance to compete for rotation minutes next season for coach Mitch Johnson. The recent opportunity to hit the court with such established players should prove to be a valuable experience heading into this rookie year.
