What Cedric Tillman’s NIL with Moonshine Mountain Cookie means for Tennessee football fans

Cedric Tillman is the new cookie monster for Tennessee football.

The Vols senior wide receiver reached an NIL deal with Moonshine Mountain Cookie Company that will give fans two free cookies if he catches two or more touchdowns in a game.

Tillman caught 12 touchdown passes, including two multi-touchdown games. He caught two touchdown passes against Vanderbilt and three in the Music City Bowl against Purdue.

Cornerback Alontae Taylor had an NIL deal with the Knoxville-based company last season to give fans two free cookies for each interception. He had three interceptions.

Moonshine Mountain gave out the free cookies either the Saturday of the game or the following Monday. The shop is closed on Sundays.

Tillman is a preseason second-team All-SEC selection after having 1,081 yards on 64 receptions.

The Vols open Josh Heupel’s second season on Sept. 1 (7 p.m. ET, SEC Network) against Ball State.
