Andrew Jones, a basketball standout at Texas who underwent treatment for leukemia earlier in his college career, will donate a portion of his NIL money to cancer research.
Jones announced Friday that he will partner with The V Foundation, created by ESPN in former NC State coach Jim Valvano's honor, and donate 10% of his name, image and likeness proceeds to the foundation.
Jones was diagnosed with leukemia in January 2018. At the time, he was the Longhorns' leading scorer. While undergoing chemotherapy, Jones missed a significant portion of two seasons.
