Top 5 richest Kansas Jayhawks based on NIL

1. Hunter Dickinson 

The 7-foot-2 center once implied that NIL money was a factor in his decision to transfer from Michigan to Kansas:

“The people hating on me would leave their job right now for a $10,000 increase,” Dickinson said. “I got, at Michigan, less than six figures. I got less than six figures at Michigan for the year.” 

Now, Dickinson holds a $1.9 million NIL valuation, which ranks fourth among all men’s college basketball players. Ranked as a top-five player entering the 2024 season, he has the opportunity to lead the No. 1 Jayhawks to their second national title in three years. 

Dickinson is one of the most followed KU athletes, with over 100,000 followers on Instagram and X. His NIL deals have included big companies like Adidas, Keurig, Skims, RITZ Crackers and Wendy’s.
