Dayton Basketball's Malachi Smith gets NIL deal with Hunny Bee's Chicken.
University of Dayton freshman basketball player Malachi Smith partners with Hunny Bee’s Chicken.
The Dayton Daily News reports “Joe Niehaus, the co-founder of Hunny Bee’s, got to know Smith and other players when they started eating at their restaurant, but he had been thinking of partnering with a UD player since August when they were still working on opening the restaurant.”
Malachi Smith is a 6-0 guard from Bronx, New York. He was a three/four star high school recruit who missed his high school senior season because of the Covid pandemic. Less than a month ago, one of Smith’s Dayton teammates gained an NIL deal with another chicken restaurant.
Hunny Bee’s currently has a single location, which is in Dayton.
