BATTLE CREEK, Mich. , Dec. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- College football season just got a lot cheezier as Cheez-It® has officially inked its first-ever name, image and likeness (NIL) deals with college football athletes from four storied programs, giving them the opportunity to wake up "Feelin' the Cheeziest" in the exclusive Cheez-It "Feelin' the Cheeziest" Hotel Rooms .

The line-up of athletes enjoying the cheezy hotel room amenities includes:

• Michael Turk , Punter, University of Oklahoma , @hangtime
• Garrett Nussmeier , Quarterback, Louisiana State University , @garrettnussmeier

Each player scored some competitive contract perks, with their hotel rooms decked out in floor-to-ceiling Cheez-It -inspired items, like absurdly plush Cheez-It rugs, an "I woke up 'Feelin' the Cheeziest, Coach!" alarm clock, inspirational Cheez-It- inspired artwork and luxurious red and yellow bedding. It's like waking up inside of a Cheez-It box, but better.

Fans who attend the official Cheez-It Bowl pep rallies on Dec. 28 at Pointe Orlando will have the chance to spend the night before the 2022 Cheez-It Bowl at Camping World Stadium, and then watch the game from the on-field suites. For official rules, click here (no purchase necessary).
