College football stars are living in a time of incredible NIL wealth and one player might be able to cash in based on his name and his recent virality alongside hip-hop star 21 Savage.
The Oklahoma Sooners are coming off a trip to the College Football Playoff in 2025. However, incoming linebacker Jacob Savage is looking to add more strength to the SEC team’s defense.
While his play on the field will have to wait for the 2026 season, fans are already excited for his jersey to release after he was given the number 21. That prompted social media to do its thing and immediately hype up the 21 Savage links.

Jacob Savage has been one of the top high school running backs and linebackers in Kentucky. However, he’s now taking his talents to the Sooners after being named the 2025 Paul Hornung Award winner.
