Tennessee Volunteers Guard Joins NIL Millionaire Club Among Established Stars

Tennessee guard Chaz Lanier recently joined the NIL millionaire club with a current value of $1.5 million. He currently sits at No. 30 in the NIL 100 and ranks No. 10 among college basketball athletes. The 2024-25 season is Lanier's first season with Tennessee. He spent the majority of his career with the North Florida Ospreys, returning to his home state of Tennessee for the chance to play in front of his family. Prior to the start of the season, Lanier was one of the top players in the transfer portal, coveted by teams like BYU and Kentucky. Lanier's performance in the Volunteer's matchup against the Virginia Cavaliers really shined a light on his worth, both on the court and off. Recording his 1,000th career point with a three-pointer in the 3rd quarter opened the fans eyes. The guard's exceptional efforts have definitely raised Tennessee to huge heights, lifting them four positions in the rankings into Week 8. In the SEC, the Volunteers are currently sitting at No. 4, behind Florida, Kentucky, and Auburn
