Caleb McConnell Signs NIL Deal with Knights of The Raritan
Agreement will last through 2022-2023 basketball season
PISCATAWAY, NJ (June 1, 2022) – Knights of The Raritan (KTR) and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and Rutgers men’s basketball senior Caleb McConnell today announced a partnership for the 2022-2023 athletics year. The 6-foot-7 Scarlet Knights senior will return to “The Banks” for a fifth season, while also inking a 10-month deal with KTR for in-person appearances, social media posts and other activations.
McConnell was an integral part of Rutgers’ first back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances since the 1970s, and was the first Scarlet Knight to win defensive conference player of the year since 2010.
The 2021-2022 Big Ten steals leader enjoyed two breakout games in RU’s NCAA appearances, netting 23 points and 11 rebounds in the Scarlet Knights’ First Four game vs. Notre Dame in 2022, and 13 points and 10 rebounds vs. Clemson in Rutgers’ first NCAA win in 38 years in 2021.
The Jacksonville, Florida native was a high school standout in Ohio before enjoying a college career at Rutgers in which he has steadily improved statistically each season. McConnell earned a BA in Africana Studies from Rutgers in May 2022 after declaring for the NBA Draft following the NCAA Tournament.
In returning to Rutgers, McConnell adds another veteran member to a starting lineup that also brings back center Cliff Omoruyi and point guard Paul Mulcahy.
I’m excited to be coming back for my final year and once again help lead Rutgers to the NCAA tournament,” said Caleb McConnell. “I’m also ready to work with Knights of The Raritan to promote NIL opportunities at Rutgers’ student athletes. They have a lot of great things planned for members and fans and I can’t wait to be a part of it.”
“We’re thrilled that Caleb is returning and that he will be collaborating with Knights of The Raritan to help educate fans and raise awareness of NIL opportunities available to Rutgers student athletes,” Jon Newman, Knights of The Raritan president said. “We’re excited that our members will get to meet Caleb at KTR events this upcoming athletics year and look forward to more NIL announcements in the coming weeks and months.”
McConnell’s partnership with Knights of The Raritan is effective immediately and will run through the end of March 2023.
