Kiyomi McMiller Is Now The First High School Basketball Player To Sign NIL Deal With Jordan Brand

Kiyomi McMiller is now the first high schooler to sign a name, image, and likeness (NIL) deal with Michael Jordan’s Jordan Brand.

The Maryland native is a 5-star point guard hailing from Silver Spring but currently playing for Life Center Academy in Burlington, NJ. McMiller was the #6 recruit in the class of 2024 and has been named “Best Ballhandler” by ESPN. 

She recently scored a NIL deal, becoming the first high school athlete to land a deal with Jordan Brand but the second athlete to do so, joining college basketball player Kiki Rice.

McMiller contributes her greatness to the people that support her most, such as her parents Mike and Ravilia, the former basketball coaches at Montgomery College. “I’m inspired by both of my parents. I get my creativity from my dad and my grandmother, which carries over to my dribbling,” McMiller said. “I’m always in the gym with my mom and dad working on my game.”
