While the misuse of NIL money has become a topic of criticism in college sports over the past few years, Iowa State quarterback Rocco Becht is doing his best to change that narrative.
Becht, one of college football’s brightest young stars, recently made a trip to the Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames and donated new Xbox consoles to the hospital for patients to use.
“He’s too humble to share himself, but Rocco Becht made an incredible gesture and donated entertainment systems with a portion of his NIL earnings for all the pediatric rooms at Mary Greeley in Ames this week,” Brent Blum, Director of Iowa State’s We Will Collective, said. “Super blessed to have great Cyclones giving back always.”
It didn’t take long for the story to start trending on social media, and here are some of the top reactions to the situation on X.
