Spring-Ford quarterback Matt Zollers has a unique NIL deal that will put the rising senior, four-star recruit behind the wheel of a car, according to a news release provided by his agent Thursday.

Zollers, a 6-foot-4 and 205-pound Missouri pledge, is the first “Westwood Home Services athlete,” according to Joe Gazza of Aurum Sports, to sign with the company.

“In exchange for commercial appearances and social media collaborations,” the release stated, “Zollers will receive a Dodge Challenger this summer and fall.”

Westwood Home Services is a handyman service with customers throughout South-Central Pennsylvania.

Zollers, who threw for a school-record 2,917 yards last season, is Pennsylvania’s top-rated quarterback in the class of 2025, according to 247Sports.

The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association allows students to engage in Name, Image, and Likeness agreements, with restrictions. About half the state associations permit them in some way, including New Jersey but not Delaware.

According to the PIAA handbook, no member school or anyone affiliated with the school — coaches, administrators, other staff members, and booster clubs, for instance — may assist an athlete in securing an NIL agreement.

Further, students may not wear a school uniform in conjunction with the NIL agreement, nor make any reference to the PIAA or a member school. Students may not endorse any products during school activities, nor wear any apparel or display a logo of a third party unless that is a normal part of the uniform.

Also, students are limited in the kinds of products they may be affiliated with. For instance, no alcohol, gambling, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, or weapons are allowed.
