Georgia Tech guard Michael Devoe signed an endorsement deal with the law firm of Morgan & Morgan, one that has featured him on billboards near Tech’s campus.

The firm made the announcement Thursday, and Devoe made a social-media post about his partnership with a photo of a billboard featuring him in Midtown. Devoe is second in the ACC in scoring at 19.44 points per game and is a candidate for All-ACC honors.

“Michael Devoe is an absolute powerhouse, and we are thrilled to partner with him and support his promising career,” Morgan & Morgan founder John Morgan said in a statement. “Like our previous NIL partnerships, we’re hopeful this campaign will connect us with new audiences while providing an additional platform to showcase Michael’s incredible talent.”

The law firm is based in Orlando, Fla., Devoe’s hometown.

“I’ve been lucky to watch Mike’s career flourish since he played in high school in Orlando and won the national championship,” Dan Morgan, an attorney at Morgan & Morgan, said in a statement. “He’s a friend of mine, and we’re excited to support someone with such deep ties to our home base of Orlando and with such a promising career ahead of him. We can’t wait to see him thrive with Georgia Tech this season.”

Devoe also had an NIL deal with Bitcoin of America and teamed with teammates Jordan Usher and Coleman Boyd to run a basketball camp in August.

Morgan & Morgan also had a similar deal with UGA All-American football player Jordan Davis, and has had others with football and basketball players from Alabama, Kentucky and West Virginia.
