According to ESPN, OsoborĀ has name, image and likeness agreements in place that will give him the highest-known valuation in college basketball this season, at $2 million.Ā
"I would like to thank God for putting me in this position," Osobor said. "Washington will allow me to maximize my potential as a player in my final year of college basketball. Coach [Danny] Sprinkle has been with me every step of the way since I came from England, and I cannot wait to help the Huskies get back to the NCAA tournament."
At 6-foot-8, OsoborĀ averaged 17.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.3 steals per game last season as he helped Utah State win the Mountain West regular-season championship and earn an at-large NCAA tournament bid.
Osobor has one year of college eligibility left.Ā
"I was not a highly recruited player coming out of England, with only a few Division I offers," Osobor told ESPN. "Assistant coach Chris Haslam had a huge part in recruiting me to Montana State, and I owe him a lot for that. I am more motivated than ever to show young kids that it doesn't matter where you come from. If you put in the work and necessary sacrifice, your time will come."Ā
