Brevin Galloway isn’t just another college athlete who benefitted from NIL. Galloway’s story deals with personal trauma, disappointment, mental health struggles, and perseverance.

The NIL Deal first spoke with Galloway back in February. That exclusive interview came after the Clemson star suffered an unfortunate injury that resulted in a viral video. The hilarious video from Galloway led to numerous NIL opportunities, including deals with underwear company Shinesty.

At the time of our first interview, Galloway was inundated with interview requests and sponsorships. When speaking to The NIL Deal, Galloway opened up about the whirlwind series of events and how far he’d come as an athlete and person. Galloway detailed his mental health struggles, as well as the disappointments in a basketball career that saw him play at three different schools.

With Galloway now done playing college basketball, we wanted to reach back out to see how the former Clemson Tiger is doing. For one, Galloway got married since our last conversation. Recently, the hooper also announced that he signed a deal to play professional basketball in the Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL) for BC Nevėžis.

Galloway mentioned that he received offers from several teams in several different leagues after the 2023 NBA Draft.
