The Texas A&M Aggies will enter the upcoming season hoping to forget the disappointing 5-7 mark they recorded in 2022. 

While they may not be ready to compete for an SEC title quite yet, taking a step forward and getting back on track will be a successful season. Looking to help them take that step is receiver Jalen Preston, who is returning for his sixth season with the Aggies. 

As he looks to help the Aggies bounce back from last season, Preston will do so with a rather unique NIL deal to boot. On Saturday he took to Instagram to announce a NIL deal with Gage Gandy Bail Bonds.

When NIL rules were made official by the NCAA, it opened an avenue for athletes to sign partnerships, with athletes like Preston highlighting how unique some deals can be. 

Through the first five seasons of his college career, Preston has appeared in 48 games, recording 468 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 35 receptions. 

He may not light up the stat sheet, but bringing back someone with as much experience as Preston could go a long way in helping the Aggies get back on track in 2023.
