Seahawks QB Russell Wilson officially hires video-making college kid who became a star on Twitter

Memes do come true.

Josh Cashman’s meteoric rise from football fan to Twitter video star took another turn on Monday as the college student officially became a part of the creative team promoting Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

Wilson tweeted that Cashman — or @CableThanos_ on Twitter — would be joining the productions family at his West2East Empire, the branding agency he runs out of Seattle.

Cashman replied that he was “unbelievably pumped to be able to create with such an awesome group of people.”

“I’m going to work with him and West2East as part of his creative team to make cool/unique videos that you won’t see anywhere else,” Cashman told GeekWire on Monday. “I’m currently still at school, but we’ll see what the future holds. For now I’m just trying to work as hard as I can every day to make something that people will like.”

Cashman, a 23-year-old student at Western Washington University in Bellingham, had been making plenty of content that Wilson and lots of other people liked during the 2018 Seahawks season. He quickly gained celebrity status on “Seahawks Twitter,” an online universe with a unique collection of characters and team analysis, thanks to his humorous, meme-filled video posts.
