On July 1st, students ask you can profit off name, image, and lightning.

Okay.

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen to another episode of the Real Deal podcast.

I'm your host, Jamar Lincoln, Assistant Director of NIL, and we got us another special guest with us today.

He's a freshman for the LSU football team in high school at Lipscomb Academy.

He was a consensus four-star recruit in the number five overall player in Tennessee and the 45th overall player in the 2025 class.

He's looking to make an immediate impact for the Tigers defense from Nashville, Tennessee, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. CJ, Jim Coley. Sir. CJ, how we doing? Man, doing good. Bless day, man. Bless day. Good work. Yes, sir. So you've been here for about a month now, right? Yeah, just about a month now. Okay, so what's your thoughts, your initial thoughts? Man, I absolutely love it. Like, I got family in New Orleans right now. My dad grew up in New Orleans, so, you know, I got a little bit of Louisiana blood in me, but I've never been here. I never spent time living here. So I had an opportunity now to come down here, live, really get to work, get immersed in the culture, man. It's like, it's almost like shell shocking but i'm here also so

enjoying it but also like you know understanding that i'm walking in my blessing right now so yeah yeah for

sure and then it's almost like not you having an out-of-body experience but it's just like sometimes you

i don't know if you hit you yet like you're like oh i play football ats u yeah real and really first question is to start off

would you rather be stranded in the ocean or stranded in space obviously you have like

a spaceship or you have a boat in the ocean it's not like you're just sitting there swimming

so i like this question because it's

absolutely absurd that this could even be a question, in my opinion. It can happen.

Yeah. I don't know. You got to be one-on-one. I don't know how many astronauts there are, but

anywho, what I want to get to is, how many people can you tell me right now that have been saved from outer space?

Like if I just snap my finger and I'm spontaneously lost in space, who coming to get me?

And when you say stranded, like, I'm thinking far, far away from like anybody.

So if I'm stranded in space, let's say I'm three hours from Earth on a, three hours from Earth on a, on a spaceship. Who, who is paying the millions of dollars to make that spaceship become and get me? Who am I to be worth that much money? And let's say, that's the low end. What if I'm light years away? It ain't nothing happened. I'm going ahead and, you know, you know, write my will to nobody, because nobody's going to be in space.

Who am I sitting this to do?

I'm going to be dead.

If I'm in the ocean, it's been people that's been saved in the ocean, you know, it's going to be some creatures there. Unless an alien come and, you know, come chill with me or, you know, blow my ship up or something. That's also a risk that you could take in space. I'm gonna be chilling in that ocean.
