Braden Smith's NIL value at Purdue basketball

Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports

With Zach Edey leaving the Purdue basketball program, Matt Painter now has to run his offense through Braden Smith. This mighty six-footer has proven that he could dominate as a floor general in the Big Ten Conference and even during March Madness. His role with the Boilermakers is also estimated to get larger due to the very sudden departure of Mason Gillis. But, this ride has been quite fun for the guard so far and it even netted him some solid NIL deals.

Braden Smith is the top-ranked Purdue basketball player in terms of NIL valuation. While seven big-name football players are racking in more deals than him, he is still earning a substantial amount while staying with the Boilermakers. In fact, he sits at 62nd among all college basketball players when it comes to his NIL contracts, per On 3 Sports. The fact that he has 32,000 followers across all social media platforms helps this quite a lot.

Overall, Smith has an NIL valuation that clocks in at around $830,000. More opportunities are likely going to present themselves in his future because he will get to shine more now that Edey won’t be taking up all of the spotlight.

Which brands have invested in Braden Smith while he’s with the Purdue basketball program?

Before he made waves by being Zach Edey’s reliable ballhandler, Smith already secured a NIL deal with the Boilermaker Alliance in October of 2022. His deal with the team shop has been renewed three times throughout the past three years. Smith had an endorsement with them at the height of March Madness and another one before the Purdue basketball squad faced off against the UConn Huskies in the National Championship game. 

Smith is not just a big name within the portals of West Lafayette. His insane acumen on the court had some brands turning their heads to get his endorsement. Westfield Basketball is one of them. They sold some of his gear and he got to profit off it down the line too. For a select few of the audience, they also got some of their Purdue basketball gear and Westfield apparel signed when he was honored in January 2023.

If there’s anything that Smith is known for, it’s that he’s very reliable. So, Trueblood Real Estate also gave him an offer to endorse their products. They inked the deal five days after Smith had signed with Westfield.

The latest deal that Smith signed was with HEYDUDE Shoes. This brand prides itself by having lightweight and comfortable sneakers. Both of which are qualities that the Purdue basketball star needs when it comes to his every day needs.
