Texas Tech Pitcher NiJaree Canady Signs a Second $1 Million-Plus NIL Deal, AP Source Says
- In 2024, star pitcher NiJaree Canady left Stanford to join Texas Tech, where she secured a groundbreaking NIL agreement worth over $1 million.
- After NIL negotiations with Stanford reportedly faltered, Canady and her family pursued a more profitable deal, leading to Texas Tech offering an amount ten times higher than Stanford's initial offer.
- Canady led Texas Tech to its first NCAA Women's College World Series and a national championship series in 2025, delivering a key Game 2 win forcing a decisive Game 3.
- Her 0.97 ERA, 317 strikeouts, 11 home runs, and multiple All-American honors highlight why her manager called the decision to stay "not difficult."
- Canady's new seven-figure NIL contract likely secures her return in 2026 and demonstrates Texas Tech's commitment to sustaining its unprecedented softball success.
