Cade Klubnik Becomes First ACC Player with NIL Action Figure

Birmingham, AL – Collegiate Legends is proud to announce that Cade Klubnik, star quarterback and team captain of the Clemson Tigers, has officially joined our action figure lineup as our final NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) partner of this preseason. This partnership marks a major milestone as Cade becomes the first athlete from the ACC to join the Collegiate Legends family, bringing our growing roster of athletes to new conferences, new fans, and new heights. With Cade leading the way, we’re uniting athletic excellence, strong leadership, and meaningful community impact. 

The impact is a huge part of this agreement, a portion of proceeds from Cade’s action figure sales will be donated to charity, furthering Collegiate Legends’ mission to give back through every collectible created. In addition, Cade will make a special appearance to gift toys to children in the community, underscoring the heart behind the brand. Also honoring his university, a portion of the Cade Klubnik action figures will be donated directly to Clemson Athletics for use of fan engagement and athlete programming.

“Cade is more than just a top-tier quarterback—he’s a leader, a role model, and exactly the kind of athlete who motivates the next generation,” said Holly Tanory, President of Collegiate Legends. “He’s the perfect choice to represent our first ACC partnership and to kick off what promises to be an unforgettable college football season.”

This fall, fans can look forward to the sale of a limited-edition Cade Klubnik action figure, featuring signature details and premium articulation—available in stores and online.
