Klutch Athletics by New Balance continues to grow its roster across professional players and NIL athletes. The latest to join Rich Paul’s brand is Minnesota’s No. 1 ranked player in the class of 2025, Aaliyah Crump.

Now, she’ll add being the first female and high school player to sign to Klutch Athletics to her list of accomplishments.

Superstar agent and Klutch CEO Rich Paul had high praise for Crump when commenting on her deal. “Weâ€ve said from the beginning that we want to uplift and empower athletes across gender and sport, and adding an exceptional young talent like Aaliyah certainly helps advance that mission. She has a bright future ahead, and we look forward to supporting her journey with her team and in her community,” said Paul. Crump joins the University of Kentucky star freshman Justin Edwards on Klutch’s newly formed NIL roster.
