Panini Instant College Football Recap: Blowouts Bring A-Plus Performances

Written by: Connor Zimmerlee

Few things bring people together like the joy of watching college football. From cheering with fellow fans to high-fiving a stranger in the stands, the thrill of Saturdays is hard to match.

Fortunately for collectors everywhere, the Panini Instant NIL College Football collection brings that energy to their fingertips. As the season goes on, look for several of the nation’s premier playmakers to be featured every week.

That’s once again the case for the upcoming release, which features a long checklist of high-quality stars who turned in excellent showings last weekend. Let’s start in Austin, where the duo of Cam Coleman and Colin Simmons guided the Longhorns to a 30-6 victory. The receiver notched his second multi-score outing of the season while the linebacker helped keep Texas’ foes in check with a sack.

Staying in the Lone Star State, we make our way to Lubbock. There, Cameron Dickey fueled Texas Tech’s ground game in its thrilling 28-26 conference win. He powered through defenders and ripped off 65 yards plus a touchdown.

Up in Big Ten country, freshman phenom Chris Henry Jr. scored his second career touchdown in Ohio State’s 59-3 rout. Snagging a quick hitter, the wideout made multiple men miss before pouring on the speed and racing 75 yards to paydirt. In Ann Arbor, the duo of Andrew Marsh and Jordan Marshall both looked sensational in the Wolverines’ 52-17 victory, and both earned Instant cards in the process.

Those sensational superstars aren’t the only ones to keep an eye out for, either. A wide collection of other stars will be part of the upcoming Panini Instant NIL release, including names like Dylan Raiola, Darian Mensah, Nate Frazier, Trinidad Chambliss, Josh Hoover and Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, with loads more to look out for both this week and throughout the rest of the season.
