Top 5 richest Florida HS basketball players based on NIL

No. 1 – Asa Newell

Newell, a 6-foot-9 rising senior forward at Montverde Academy, has a NIL valuation of $444,000. 

He is extremely marketable considering that he’s ranked as the No. 1 power forward in the Class of 2024 by 247 Sports Composite. Newell isn’t committed to a program yet. He holds top offers from Indiana, Alabama, Texas, Florida and Florida State – but a massive college basketball fanbase will make all the difference in his potential sponsorship deals. 

Since playing on the 2023 USA Men’s U19 National Team, Newell has been viewed as one the best U19 NBA draft prospects due to his versatility (great speed, agility and shot-blocking skills). Considering this trajectory, he’s expected to book deals worth half a million dollars by his college freshman season. 

Even though Newell is the “richest” Florida high school basketball player, he actually doesn’t make On3’s national NIL 100 list. But, his social media following across Instagram and Twitter (39,000 users) is steadily increasing to add to his NIL worth.
