Texas Longhorns quarterback Casey Thompson will once again use recently instilled NIL rules to his benefit, as the junior signal-caller has struck a deal with the newly launched app, ibble, according to 247Sports.com.
Ibble, which is headquartered in Austin, Texas, is an app that provides easy-going communication through video chat and allows users to explore and connect with one another.
The app will be hosting a four-day event from Aug. 23-26, with a focus on college football. The event will consist of prominent college football media members interviewing players, as fans can tune in with a chance to interact with the players and donate to the Helping Hand charity.
Thompson, who is in the midst of a tightly contested battle for the starting QB job with Hudson Card, will be one of three players interviewed. He’ll be joined by Texas A&M safety Leon O’Neal and Auburn linebacker Owen Pappoe.
The media members taking part in the event include 247Sports’ Bud Elliott, ESPN NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller, Split Zone Duo’s Steve Godfrey, Football Scoop’s Zach Barnett and CBS Sports’ Barrett Sallee.
Thompson is slated to be interviewed by ibble’s Will Baizer at 5 p.m. on the final day of the event.
