WWE has made a major announcement regarding its award-winning NIL (Next-In-Line) program. The company has signed 14 college athletes to its program, providing them with a clear pathway from collegiate athletics to WWE.
The fourth class of athletes includes some of the nation’s top-ranked wrestlers, such as two-time All-American Lucas Davison from the University of Michigan and former Big 12 Champion Stephen Buchanan from the University of Oklahoma. This class also features some groundbreaking signings, including WWE’s first acrobatics athlete, Bayley Humphrey from Baylor University, the first baseball player, Adam Berghorst from Indiana State, and the first male cheerleader, Slane Glover from Ohio State.
The “Next In Line” program has been a success for WWE, and this fourth class of athletes represents the continued growth and expansion of the program. These athletes come from 14 different universities and ten NCAA conferences, showcasing the diverse talent pool that WWE is tapping into.
