The partnership underscores Lund Boats' commitment to promoting an active, adventurous lifestyle on the water while aligning with a rising star known for his work ethic, competitive spirit, and passion for the outdoors.

I am thrilled be part of a brand that builds boats designed for everyone from weekend warriors to pro tournament anglers.”
Outside of his football career, Pittman cherishes spending time with his close-knit family. His wife, Kianna, is an integral part of his life and often joins him on his outdoor adventures. Together, they share a love for the water and enjoy making lasting memories with family and friends. Pittman credits his strong family bond for providing him with the values of hard work, resilience, and appreciation for the simple joys in life.
As part of this partnership, Pittman will be featured in various Lund Boats marketing campaigns, social media promotions, and public appearances. He will also be actively sharing his own experiences throughout the year onboard his Lund 2075 Impact XS.
