Between classes, practices and games, college athletes need fuel to keep them running. Now in its third season, Dunkin’ is proud to support a diverse mix of 17 student-athletes across six sports, strengthening university ties nationwide with our newest line-up of Team Dunkin’ athletes.

Through these name, image and likeness (NIL) partnerships, these collegiate athletes will partner with Dunkin’ to enrich the fan experience on their campuses through social posts, in-person appearances, and more. Home-team fans can fuel up like their favorite players by visiting participating Dunkin’ locations in their college towns and trying their favorite Team Dunkin’ athlete’s featured beverage.

This year’s Team Dunkin’ lineup features 13 new faces and four returning team members from last year’s roster, representing 16 colleges and universities across the country.

“I’m really excited to team up with Dunkin’ for another season, as it’s a brand that has been a part of my journey since childhood,” said Armando Bacot, North Carolina Men’s Basketball forward. “Returning to Team Dunkin’ this season means more than just repping a brand that I love as the season tips off – it’s about showing the energy that Dunkin’ represents on and off the court. Running on Dunkin’ fuels my drive to excel and empowers me to make a difference every step of the way.”
