Xaivian Lee Reportedly Set to Earn $6M Through NIL, Shoe Contracts at Florida

University of Florida transfer guard Xaivian Lee is reportedly set to pocket some significant name, image and likeness earnings during the 2025-26 college basketball season.

According to On3.com’s Pete Nakos, Lee is expected to make north of $6 million between his NIL earnings at Florida and his deal with international shoe company Serious Player Only.

Lee entered the transfer portal and committed to Florida last month after starring for three seasons at Princeton.

Per Nakos, Lee’s multiyear contract with Serious Player Only is more lucrative than his NIL deal with Florida, and it could lead to him securing his own signature shoe if and when he makes it to the NBA.

Nakos also noted that Lee is the first NCAA NIL athlete to have a shoe deal with an international company.

Lee, 21, was born and raised in Toronto before moving to the United States to attend high school in Pennsburg, Pennsylvania.

After arriving at Princeton, Lee played a limited role during his freshman season, averaging 4.8 points and 1.8 rebounds per game, but he broke out during his sophomore campaign in 2023-24.

Starting all 29 games he appeared in, Lee averaged 17.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.8 three-pointers and one steal per contest while shooting 45.1 percent from the field and 33.8 percent from beyond the arc.

Lee was named to the All-Ivy League first team as a result, and he repeated the feat last season when he averaged 16.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.2 steals.

Although Princeton missed the NCAA tournament each of the past two seasons, all signs point toward Lee playing meaningful games in March next season.

The Gators are fresh off a magical 2024-25 season that saw them go 36-4 and win their third national championship in program history.

Florida lost several key players, including Walter Clayton Jr., Alijah Martin and Will Richard, but Alex Condon, Thomas Haugh and Rueben Chinyelu are returning, plus Lee is joining the program along with fellow transfer Boogie Fland and highly touted recruit CJ Ingram.

Because of that, the Gators are legitimate threats to win back-to-back national titles, and Lee will almost certainly be a huge part of the equation if that happens.
