BYU basketball just landed a major boost for its roster with the addition of former Baylor guard Rob Wright. The highly touted transfer is making headlines not just for his on-court talent but also for the size of his NIL deal, reportedly valued at $3.5 million.
Wright’s move to BYU comes amid a transformative era in college athletics, where NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) opportunities are playing a growing role in recruitment decisions. The 6’1″ guard brings with him a strong freshman season from Baylor and is expected to play a central role in BYU’s backcourt.
Excitement is already building among Cougar fans, with photos of Wright in BYU gear circulating online and generating buzz across social media.
His arrival comes at a pivotal time for BYU, as the program continues to raise its profile in the Big 12 and compete for national attention. With Wright and fellow recruit AJ Dybantsa joining the squad, expectations for the upcoming season are sky-high.
