Central Florida quarterback Blake Bortles is expected to go in the first round of the NFL Draft and his life will be changed forever. So what will Bortles do with his new NFL contract and the riches it will bring?

He is going to pay for his brother’s education. His brother Colby is a freshman infielder who is on a partial baseball scholarship at Ole Miss.

“Those baseball scholarships are funky,” Bortles said Wednesday on the Open Mike radio show, “so the first big thing I’m going to pay for is the rest of my brother’s college education.”

Of course he, and his brother, don’t have to wait for that NFL contract. Bortles reportedly signed with sporting goods giant Nike on an endorsement deal.
