In a groundbreaking move that’s shaking up college basketball, South Carolina men’s basketball point guard Raven Johnson has signed a 4-year contract with the University of Kentucky, valued at a staggering $109 million. This unprecedented deal marks one of the richest in collegiate sports history.
Johnson, who has been a standout playmaker at South Carolina, is expected to become the cornerstone of Kentucky’s backcourt. The contract reportedly includes performance bonuses, NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) endorsements, and provisions for professional development.
“This is a dream come true,” Johnson said during a press conference. “I’m excited to bring my game to Big Blue Nation and help lead Kentucky to championship glory.”
The move has sparked major reactions across the NCAA, as schools continue to navigate the evolving NIL landscape. Analysts suggest Johnson’s deal could set a new standard for elite collegiate talent.
