Stefanovic will make money through live chat sessions and sending personalized video messages.
The 6-foot-5 guard from Crown Point, Indiana, averaged 9.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game during the 2020-21 season. He made 41.6% of his shots from the field, including 50-of-125 of his 3-point attempts.
Stefanovic was recognized as an Academic All-Big Ten honoree last season. So far, he is the second Purdue basketball player to earn a deal relating to his NIL. On Thursday, Jared Wulbrun joined Stock Risers to write weekly blogs.
As time continues to pass with NCAA-approved NIL policies in effect, more players will begin to announce partnerships with various companies and brands. Boilermaker athletes will also continue to take advantage of their opportunities.
