Percy “Master P” Miller’s son, Hercy Miller, is set to join Tennessee State, an HBCU in Nashville, with a significant boost to his finances. The 19-year-old basketball player has secured a $2 million sponsorship deal with Web Apps America. Within the arrangement, he will act as the brand ambassador for the tech company specializing in web, mobile, and augmented reality development.
“I am proud of my son, he is a leader on and off the court. Working with a technology company as a student-athlete is a first deal of its kind. Hercy will be able to increase the awareness of the HBCU system on a global level,” stated Master P.
Hercy Miller voiced, “I am proud to represent a company focused on technology, which is our future. We have a suite of apps that we will be launching in the very near future targeting HBCU students and student-athletes covering topics from financial literacy to healthy eating to games to networking.”
He further stated, “This is a blessing. July 21st will be my first official Life Skills & Basketball Camp, which will be free to the young kids in the community. We will also be giving away back-to-school supplies. I hope this endorsement will open up more opportunities for more NCAA student-athletes.”
