RB Ezekiel Elliott (All B1G, All-American, National Champion, Pro Bowl, All Pro, Dallas Cowboys)

Looking to future, more NCAA athletes seek own trademarks

Like their counterparts in the pros, more college football stars are starting to snatch up trademark rights to their names, nicknames and fan slogans.

The NCAA generally forbids its players from cashing in on their athletic success, but by gaining legal ownership of phrases tied to their personal brands, players can pave the way for lucrative licensing deals in the future and can prevent others from exploiting their names.

This month, Ohio State University running back Ezekiel Elliott applied for five trademarks, including rights to use his nicknames "Zeke" and "Eze" on merchandise, according to records in a public database kept by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Elliott also filed for trademarks to use "Hero in a half shirt" and "In crop top we trust" on apparel, and for the restaurant name "Zeke's Crop Top Bar and Grill," a nod to the junior's preference to roll his jersey up like a crop top.

I wonder if one of these days Eddie George's Grille 27 will have some additional competition on High Street.

OHIO STATE RUNNING BACK EZEKIEL ELLIOTT ANXIOUS FOR SECOND CRACK AT VIRGINIA TECH

58725_h.jpg,qitok=vgAPPzav.pagespeed.ce.2bUJPgUdl7.jpg


As Ezekiel Elliott exited Ohio Stadium last season following his team’s 35-21 loss to Virginia Tech, Ohio State’s star running back — who wasn’t exactly a star at this point in time — had trouble processing exactly what happened in the game he and his teammates had just played.

The Buckeyes’ high-powered offense had been stifled by an aggressive Hokies’ defense, limited to just 21 points and 327 yards of total offense. Elliott — who ran for 696 yards and eight touchdowns over Ohio State’s final three games of the 2014 season — was limited to a season-low 32 yards rushing on just eight carries.

“I didn’t really know what happened,” Elliott recalled. “We were just so shellshocked by that game and we were not prepared. After the game I think everyone was in shock and that was just kind of a weird feeling.”

In his last six games, Elliott has 117 carries for 1046 yards (8.9 ypc) and 12 TDs.

He has over 100 yards in each of those games, and over 200 yards in three of those games.

He has at least one run of at least 33 yards in each game:

65-yard vs Indiana (TD)
44-yard vs Michigan (TD)
81-yard vs Wisconsin (TD)
60-yard vs Wisconsin
54-yard vs Alabama
85-yard vs Alabama (TD)
33-yard vs Oregon (TD)
80-yard vs Va Tech (TD)

Zeke's on an amazing run right now, probably the best in Ohio State history.
