Caleb Wilson gets an A+ for gift giving!
Wilson, in partnership with Beats by Dre, gave each of his UNC basketball teammates a pair of Beats Studio Pro headphones. If you're familiar with the company, you'd know that these headphones are great for locking in and blocking out outside noise.
Seems like the perfect gift for student athletes who likely listen to music during pre game workouts or might just need some extra help silencing noise while focusing on other things (such as studying or resting).
The reactions say it all
You'll see the reaction of Wilson's teammates in the videos, a clear sign that they are huge fans of the thoughtful gesture. It's safe to say that these will be put to very good use.
Instances like this go to show the type of culture that the UNC basketball program is brewing within the locker room. Wilson didn't have to get his teammates anything, as a gift from the highly-touted freshman probably wasn't expected.
However, Wilson made sure he let his teammates know just how much he appreciates them.
The UNC basketball program has taken pride in being more than just a team. Gestures like this .one from Wilson just confirm that it hasn't changed one bit.
We've seen some gift-giving over the years from student-athletes who want to show how much they care for their teammates. Typically, the veterans who capitalize on NIL deals are the ones making these types of gestures, but in this case, it's the five-star-rated freshman who is exceeding the already sky-high expectations he had when he arrived on campus a few months back to begin his college basketball career.
It's safe to say that Caleb Wilson has been everything the UNC basketball program hoped for, both on and off the court.
