Posted Jan 20, 2026
No. 1 recruit Tyran Stokes signed an NIL deal with Nike in October. “I also want to work with Nike to connect with young athletes and give feedback on our footwear and apparel,” Stokes said. “Not just from me, but from my community.” Now that Stokes, a 6-foot-7 forward, is nearing a college commitment, he says his Nike deal won’t impact his decision.
