Mikey Williams: NCAA Transfer, NIL Star

Mikey Williams, a standout guard from Sacramento State, has entered the NCAA transfer portal with two years of eligibility remaining. Despite legal issues that led to a redshirt year at Memphis, Williams shone this season, averaging 17.1 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game. With a $2.3 million NIL valuation, fueled by his massive social media following, Williams is poised to attract attention from power conferences. The NIL market is booming, with $932.5 million spent on mens and womens basketball in the 2025-26 season, up from $314.4 million in the first year. Mid-majors like Sacramento State can now offer competitive NIL deals, potentially drawing more stars to the transfer portal. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
