    Marist Veres Royal has announced a landmark NIL deal valued between 2-5Mil as disclosed to @on3. Marist will market the sale of his provisional patent for his innovative invention, The Halo, a protective football helmet mask that may mark the first NIL for an invention.
    

Marist Veres Royal, the youngest football player in NCAA history, has announced a landmark Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deal valued between $2 million and $5 million. Represented by The BeBop Channel Corporation, Marist, through his sole proprietorship DBA Veres Royal, will market the sale of the provisional patent for his innovative invention, **The Halo**, a protective football helmet mask designed to significantly reduce frontal head-to-head and helmet-to-body impacts. Reported to On3 and Buffalo State University, this deal may mark the first instance of a student-athlete monetizing their own invention under the NCAA’s new NIL rules, effective since 2021.


The Halo, a patent-pending protective helmet mask, features a unique design with two elliptical steel bars that prevent direct helmet contact, addressing a critical safety issue in football where approximately 50% of impacts occur at the front of the head.
