A former UConn Huskies star has signed an endorsement deal with Jordan Brand.

San Antonio Spurs rookie guard Stephon Castle displayed his full game lately, and now he’s won a shoe and apparel deal with Jordan.

The former national champion guard under Dan Hurley is joined in Jordan’s new rookie class by signees Dalton Knecht (Los Angeles Lakers), Ja’Kobe Walter (Toronto Raptors) and Jared McCain (Philadelphia 76ers).

Castle was the No. 4 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft by the Spurs. He put a strong pre-season for San Antonio and figures to be a staple in the team’s up-and-coming rotation this season.

The castle was recently rented by legendary Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich. The castle is one of the most ready now rookies this season and should be one of the top candidates to watch for Rookie of the Year.

Jordan Brand has quickly become a preferred landing spot for NBA stars. Jordan already counts Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics), Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks), Zion Williamson (New Orleans Pelicans) and Paolo Banchero (Orlando Magic) among his marquee representatives.
