What happened: Miami Hurricanes sophomore wide receiver Malachi Toney reportedly signed an NIL deal with Red Bull. The agreement adds Toney to a college football roster that includes Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith, Oregon's Dakorien Moore and Texas' Arch Manning. It comes a month after Toney signed with Adidas and ahead of Miami's in-state clash with Florida State.

Why it matters: Miami is 5-0 and ranked No. 3 with the highest-scoring offense in FBS at 49.6 points per game. Toney leads the team in receiving and is building a Heisman case alongside quarterback Darian Mensah. His marketability reflects Miami's emergence as a National Championship contender.

By the numbers: Toney has 39 catches for 604 yards and 6 touchdowns through 5 games. He broke a 42-year-old program record with 234 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns in the 45-6 opener against Stanford. As a freshman he led the FBS with 109 catches for 1,211 yards and 12 total touchdowns, setting Miami's freshman catches record.

What to watch: Miami faces Florida State next in an in-state rivalry game. Toney has seven regular-season games left to add to his Heisman resume.
