Former Illinois forward Coleman Hawkins has reportedly transferred to Kansas State by virtue of a lucrative name, image and likeness (NIL) deal.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, Nate Conley of Court XIV and Aaron Turner of Verus Basketball landed a $2 million NIL agreement for Coleman at Kansas State, which is believed to be the largest NIL deal ever negotiated by a collective in college basketball.
Hawkins, who is a graduate transfer, was rated as a 4-star player and the No. 22 overall player in the transfer portal this offseason by 247Sports.
