Ayanna Patterson has secured NIL representa­tion ahead of her first season with Uconn women’s basketball.

Patterson, the No. 4-ranked player in the 2022 class, signed with Klutch Sports Group, the agency announced Wednesday.

Founded by Rich Paul, Klutch is one of the top agencies across all profession­al sports leagues, especially in regard to basketball. Lebron James, Anthony Davis, Trae Young and Draymond Green are all signed with Klutch, along with many other top NBA players.

Klutch launched a women’s basketball division this February, led by agent Jade-li English. Las Vegas Aces All-star A’ja Wilson, the 2020

WNBA MVP, headlines the WNBA players represente­d by the agency.

Other top talent signed to Klutch includes Chelsea Gray (Aces), Allisha Gray (Dallas Wings) and Jordin Canada (Los Angeles Sparks).

South Carolina’s Aliyah Boston is also signed with Klutch for NIL representa­tion.
