Cooper Flagg announced a sponsorship deal with Gatorade on Tuesday, making him the first men’s college basketball player to sign with the brand.
Flagg, the projected No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, joins Paige Bueckers and JuJu Watkins as other college players signed to the brand.
“It just comes down to trying to just stay grounded and kind of stay where my feet are and focus on the present and where I am,” told ESPN when discussing the Gatorade deal.
Flagg also has a sneaker deal with New Balance.
Flagg was most recently named to the preseason AP All-American team.
