Virginia Tech has been making people turn their heads entering into a terrific 2024. While consistent collective effort is the meat of the reason, shining quarterback Kyron Drones’ copious contribution deserves a special shout-out. He amassed a total of 412 yards in Virginia Tech’s final three games last year and posted 10 total impressive touchdowns (nine passing) over that stretch. While he didn’t get the hype back, then like he’s getting now, it was all part of the process. That said, the on-field magician is equally captivating for the big brands when it comes to inking some high-value NIL deals.

While Drones’ earnings from the NIL are likely to rise significantly, currently, he’s making around $25,000 based on his performance and marketability. Factors, including performance, community dealings, influence, exposure, verified deals, and fluctuations in the overall NIL market size, can alter an athlete’s NIL Valuation each week. Also, a pump in the social media population sees an immediate surge in the money coming under the NIL for some players.

Kyron Drones, 21, has ticked all the parameters needed to crack some awesome NIL deals. Consequently, he has inked with Triumph NIL, a supreme marketing agency that catches a slew of Virginia Tech athletes.

Apart from some large-scale deals, drones actively engage with regional businesses, appearances, and promotional activities, fostering better marketing practices. He is delivering on the field with an equal passion.

Visionaries saw how dangerous Drones was shaping up to be and they proved no wrong as the season hit the door. Kyron Drones rolls to his right, dodges a sack, then throws across his body to Ayden Greene, giving the Hokies a 34-24 lead against Miami in their Week 5 game. Although the team couldn’t make it to the last, losing 34-38 in a close game, Drones’ impact shot remains a cynosure. The banger continues through the next week against Stanford when the Hokies crushed the opponent as a fiery bounce back, with the fifth-best quarterback (as per 247Sports) accounting for three TDs.

The young quarterback’s unmatched grit and leadership leave a sliver hope for the Hokies for the rest of the 2024 season. Simultaneously, his constant social media strive, sharing updates on the training sessions, and pre-game and post-game activities paves the way for some more alluring deals (more money) on his way.
