The explosive sophomore wide receiver joins the brand following a historic true freshman campaign in 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toney led the nation with 109 receptions, collected ACC Rookie of the Year honors, and generated 1,622 all-purpose yards. He opened his 2026 season with a record-setting performance against Stanford, hauling in 12 catches for 234 yards and three touchdowns to break Miami\u2019s single-game receiving yardage record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This deal represents Toney\u2019s first partnership with Adidas. His prior endorsement portfolio includes a high-profile NIL apparel release with streetwear brand Hellstar ahead of the 2025 College Football Playoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By partnering with Toney, Adidas builds on a long history of high-caliber athletic endorsements.
