25 years ago, Michigan State won the NCAA tournament, and an integral part of the team was the sixth man, Jason Richardson. Tom Izzo was at the helm back then and continues today as well! This year, the 70-year-old is relying on another member of the Richardson family — Jase Richardson. The young combo guard never truly spent any time in Michigan before his recruitment. However, he did not shy away from the legacy and used it as a tool to push the Spartans for a championship, which they haven’t won since 2000.
Until December last year, the 19-year-old was playing reserve minutes off the bench. Yet, since February, he has established himself as a reliable starter for Michigan State. So, let’s look at his NIL journey and high school experience, which paved the way for his current performances.
What are Jase Richardson’s NIL deals as of 2025?
The freshman guard is in his first year with the program. But already signed with CAA Sports on May 29, 2024, which specializes in sports representation and business ventures related to sports. This includes sports endorsement, NIL, and brand and enterprise consulting. That is why he is already on the top 100 players list of college basketball athletes.
As per On3, the current leader is Archer Manning, with $6.5 million. He’s followed by Cooper Flagg, with a NIL Valuation of $4.8 million. Even though Jase Richardson’s NIL value is not available, he sits comfortably in the top 100. If we only compare the point guard position, it is Braden Smith who leads the way. The Purdue star has a NIL valuation of $1.9 million.
Which high school did Jase Richardson attend?
We won’t be lying if we told you basketball is in his blood. As stated previously, his dad is a former Spartan and 2x Slam Dunk Champion. But Jase’s mother took the onus of coaching her son. Jackie Paul-Richardson, who played basketball at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. She also coached her son’s AAU team.
For his high school, the 6-foot-3 guard chose Columbus High School in Florida. As a senior, he helped the team conclude the season with a 27-4 record and won the Florida 7A Class State Championship. He also led the team to a Spalding Hoophall Classic victory and earned first-team all-state honors. But, before transferring to Columbus, he attended Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, where he was named to the first-team all-state team as a junior and the second-team all-state as a sophomore.
His high school exploits earned him the rank of 24th best player by ESPN, #36 by Rivals, and #45 by On3. In terms of being the top player in Florida, Jase Richardson occupied the #2 spot. For the PG Elite on the Nike EYBL circuit in 2023, the performance justified his rankings. As he averaged 16.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.
What is Jase Richardson’s net worth and salary?
Not much information is known about Jase Richardson’s net worth. The player does not have a fixed salary yet, as he still plays at the collegiate level. Apart from this, the NCAA does not allow teams to pay salaries to their players. This rule is expected to be changed by the Fall of 2024. Hence, it is safe to assume the freshman guard currently does not receive a salary from the Spartans.
