Sons of Scott Steiner, Mark Henry & Titus O’Neil part of new WWE NIL class
The fifth-ever WWE NIL class has three names with familiar bloodline ties among them.
Announced by WWE on Saturday following USA Today’s initial report, Brock Rechsteiner (son of Scott Steiner), Jacob Henry (son of Mark Henry), and TJ Bullard (son of Titus O’Neil) were part of the 12-member class listed below.
Rechsteiner, formerly a wide receiver for the Jacksonville State football team, was reportedly offered his deal in January with his brother Brandon confirming it in February during an interview.
Henry is currently a football player and amateur wrestler at Oklahoma University while Bullard plays football for the University of Central Florida.
About the WWE NIL Program
The NIL (Next In Line) program was launched in December 2021 for college athletes. NIL deals allow athletes to profit off of their name, image, and likeness while still in college — a bi-product of new NCAA policies that took effect in July 2021 following the historic Ed O’Bannon lawsuit.
