Anna Frey is raking in the dough, and it has everything to do with Brock Purdy.
While the former last pick in the NFL Draft excels in his NFL career, a young woman is profiting off his face. Not because she is using his likeness, but because she shares an uncanny resemblance to him.
Last November, Frey signed with the University of North Carolina. She joined the Tar Heels this month. Frey has been a star ever since her signing was announced.
Aside from Anna Frey, there have been a few tennis stars who have made waves in other ways. US Open star Sachia Vickery joined OnlyFans amid her Tennis career. Vickery entered the OnlyFans world in January 2025. She told fans she never expected to do both, but the money comes relatively easily.
In 2023, the world learned that Sofya Zhuk, a former Wimbledon junior champion who had quit the sport in 2020 due to injuries, had joined the adult content platform OnlyFans. French Tennis star Oceane Dodin also joined the site.
When it comes to young tennis players like Anna Frey, she doesn’t have to join the site.
