Seth Williamson, the 7-year-old Wesley Chapel youngster and speedster who is the “Fastest Kid in the Nation,” a title he earned by winning multiple championships last and this year during AAU Track and Field National Championships, now has another title to add to his young athletic career.
In late September, Williamson became the youngest track and field athlete ever to receive an NIL deal, signing a deal with Ford’s Garage restaurant, 25526 Sierra Center Blvd., Lutz, across from the Tampa Premium Outlets.
Generally, NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals are meant for college athletes, however, through his Speed Starz Track/Running Club, Williamson was able to secure the deal — and get a burger named after him!
The High Octane burger — a spicier entree with its pepper jack cheese and jalapeno toppings — will be on the Ford’s Lutz location’s menu starting in January.
