Kon Knueppel recently capped off his freshman season at Duke, helping lead the Blue Devils to a historic season,

Duke finished the season with a 35-4 record, having lost to Houston in the Final Four.

Before their loss to the Cougars, the Blue Devils defeated Mount St. Mary's, Baylor, Arizona and Alabama. They entered the NCAA Tournament as a No. 1 seed after winning the ACC Tournament title.

After the season, where Duke finished with just their sixth 35-win season in program history, Knueppel declared for the NBA Draft.

As he prepares for his professional basketball journey, Knueppel took to social media, sharing his latest off-court partnership.

Knueppel has officially partnered with Chipotle, a multinational, fast casual Mexican grill.

"New chapter, always @ChipotleTweets #ChipotlePartner," Knueppel said.

Kon Knueppel has already shared several partnerships on his social media, seemingly taking advantage of his NIL with the Duke Blue Devils during a phenomenal freshman season.

Before announcing his partnership with Chipotle, Knueppel also previously shared his deals with State Farm, Dollar Shave Club and Celsius.

During his freshman season with the Duke Blue Devils, Kon Knueppel averaged 14.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game.

In his last game with the Blue Devils, a 70-67 loss to Houston, Knueppel posted 16 points, seven rebounds and two assists.

Knueppel played alongside two of the best freshman in America last season: Cooper Flagg and Khaman Maluach.

All three players are projected to be lottery picks in the upcoming NBA Draft, after leading Duke to the Final Four.
