Chris Livingston signs with Klutch Sports for NIL representation

Future Kentucky Wildcat Chris Livingston is making sure he’s set up for name, image, and likeness (NIL) before he even sets foot in Lexington. Yesterday afternoon, the five-star forward announced he has signed with Klutch Sports for NIL representation.

Why Klutch? In addition to it being one of the most popular sports agencies out there, it was founded by Rich Paul, best friend and agent of LeBron James. Livingston, like James, is from Akron, Ohio, and the two struck up a friendship as Livingston started turning heads on the grassroots circuit. Also in the Klutch family: Anthony Davis, John Wall, Tyrese Maxey, Lonzo Ball, and Ben Simmons.

Livingston, the No. 10 player in the 2022 class in the On3 Consensus, currently has an On3 NIL valuation of $77,000, which ranks 16th among high school basketball players. He has an On3 Per Post Value of $909 on his Instagram account, which has almost 84,000 followers. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. It does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date, rather, it signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

At the McDonald’s All-American Game last month, Livingston scored 13 points on 5-9 shooting and 2-4 from three to go with six rebounds, five assists, and one block (you can read our scouting report here). He and fellow signee Cason Wallace will also represent Kentucky at the Jordan Brand Classic this Friday, April 15.
