Ty Haywood just pulled a move that’s got the NIL world low-key scratching their heads—and maybe counting their dollars too. No press release, no big announcement, just a quiet IG flex that might be louder than people think. When a 5-star recruit with a six-figure NIL tag casually drops a name tied to a $150M star, you already know something’s cooking. What’s the play here? Just a casual sip, or is Haywood about to run up the bag? Let’s talk.

Michigan’s 5-star trench monster Ty Haywood just threw up a quiet-but-loud money move on IG, and the NIL streets are eating it up. On February 26th, the future Wolverine casually dropped an IG story, flashing a bundle of $150 million man Logan Paul’s PRIME Drink, tagging, “Thanks @PrimeDrink for the fuel and accessories.” Yeah, just your average Tuesday flex, right?

Haywood, already sitting on a $357K NIL valuation, Ty Haywood put a snap-shot of PRIME’s Future Freeze—the zero-sugar, hydration-packed drink that’s been running laps around the sports world. Now, let’s call it what it is: these shoutouts ain’t free. No official word on whether Logan Paul & PRIME cut the check, but let’s be real—when a top recruit plugs a brand like this, there’s usually a bag behind it.

If PRIME just linked up with Haywood, this could send his NIL stock through the freaking roof. Logan Paul ain’t new to the game—he’s been playing chess while others are still reading the rulebook. If this turns official, it’s just another W for Paul, PRIME, and the NIL empire.

Ty Haywood’s recruiting saga

Ty Haywood’s recruiting saga was straight-up wild—like a five-star soap opera with plot twists nobody saw coming. Back in July 2024, the Texas powerhouse locked in his commitment to Alabama, ready to suit up for the Crimson Tide like so many O-line greats before him. But hold up—things started getting shaky as the season rolled on. The Wolverines weren’t backing down, and head coach Sherrone Moore, along with O-line guru Grant Newsome, made it their mission to flip Haywood. They pulled up to Denton, Texas, time and time again, selling him on Michigan’s vision, their stacked recruiting class, and, most importantly, his future as an anchor in their trenches.

Fast forward to January 2025, and boom—Haywood sent shockwaves through the recruiting world by de-committing from Alabama. The dude was back on the market, and suddenly, Michigan and Florida State were in a dogfight for his signature. But the Wolverines played their cards right. They hit him with that elite development pitch, the “you’ll be the next big thing” speech. And, let’s be real, probably some NIL perks that made him think twice. By the time National Signing Day rolled around, it was a wrap—Haywood threw on that maize and blue, sealing Michigan’s dominance in the trenches. With other big-time commits like Bryce Underwood and Andrew Babalola joining him, the Wolverines just stacked their O-line with straight-up monsters.

Flipping from Bama to Michigan? That ain’t just a commitment switch—That’s a big-time move for Michigan’s O-line. And Haywood’s about to prove why the Wolverines went all-in to bring him to Ann Arbor. He’s got the size, the skill, and now, the potential NIL juice to make some serious waves in college football. Whether his PRIME connection turns into a full-fledged deal or not, one thing’s for sure—Haywood’s stock is only going up. Michigan just landed a future star, and the world’s about to see why they bet big on him.
