JuJu Watkins NIL Deal: How Much Is JuJu Watkin’s NIL Deal Worth?

Garima Ranawat

Let's take a deep dive in JuJu Watkin's NIL portfolio.

The USC Trojans’ coveted sophomore JuJu Watkins is one of the most renowned figures in the women’s basketball sphere currently. Ranked No.1 in 2023 by ESPN during her tenure with Sierra Canyon School, Watkins is a two-time gold medalist with the USA Basketball team. She was also adjudged the USBWA National Freshman of the Year in 2024. 

JuJu had all eyes on as she participated in the ongoing NCAA Tournament, aka March Madness. In the first round match-up, she led her side with 22 points, eight rebounds and two assists to a lopsided 71-25 win over the UNC Greensboro Spartans. Unfortunately, as the Trojans met the Mississippi State Bulldogs in the second-round match-up, Watkins suffered a season ending ACL injury

Watkins is a dominating name in women’s collegiate basketball and broke the national freshman scoring record with 920 points. Apart from setting her dominance on the court, she has been a popular name off the court as well and her 1.1 million followers on Instagram are a testament of it. Considering her popularity, it is obvious that Watkins has earned quite a few NIL deals throughout her career.
