Entrepreneur/Media Personality Jay Williams
Improbable Media - a media company that empowers athletes to be
the driving force in their own narrative - announced today the
launch of LANK by Jalen Milroe, a season-long digital diary series
powered by Beast® starring the University of Alabama
quarterback.
Coming out of the 2023 season that saw him face adversity in the
form of being benched for a game and his legendary head coach
leaving the program, Milroe has set large goals for himself both on
and off the field. The series will showcase his journey to become
the first black Crimson Tide quarterback to win the National
Championship and Heisman Trophy in the same season while navigating
the changes that come with a new face leading the program.
Featuring his reactions to the biggest moments of the season, LANK
By Jalen Milroe will see the QB interview teammates, coaches, and
former players in real time.
“I’m looking forward to bringing LANK beyond Tuscaloosa to the
whole world this season,” said Milroe. “We have a new coach and new
offensive system, but the mission is still the same. We’re going to
compete for a SEC and National Championship, and I’m looking to
make more history of my own. Fans and naysayers can come along for
the ride.”
Created by Milroe and his teammate Terrion Arnold in the wake of
playoff disappointment in 2022, LANK - “Let All Naysayers Know'' -
became one of the most talked about mantras in collegiate sports
last year. A symbol for perseverance, the entire Crimson Tide team
along with the university continue to live by the rallying cry
heading into the 2024 season.
“Jalen Milroe is changing what it means to be a college athlete
in the new era of NIL,” says Jay Williams, Improbable Media
co-founder, CEO and former college basketball National Champion and
All-American at Duke. “He had the foresight to trademark LANK ahead
of the biggest season of his career and is partnering with the
university to make sure what he’s built lasts long after his final
game in Tuscaloosa.”
LANK is being powered by Beast®, the premium men’s personal care
product line. “Beast® is excited to launch this partnership with
Jalen Milroe,” remarked company CEO Holden Ferguson. “Jalen
embodies what it means to be a Beast on and off the field. We
believe Beast® and Jalen can bring a new edge and excitement to
men’s personal care that has never been seen before.”
Milroe joined Improbable Media as the company’s first athlete
partner in July of this year, which saw it become his exclusive
content and production company and brand strategist of record. He
begins his senior season after leading the Crimson Tide to a 12-1
record and an SEC Championship as a Junior. He was named MVP of the
conference title game win over then #1 ranked Georgia. In the
classroom, Jalen graduated in December with a degree in business
administration. He hails from Katy, Texas and both of his parents
served in the United States Military.
