Summary
- JT Toppin, Texas Tech's star player, earns $4 million in NIL and revenue share funds
- Toppin buys his mom a house, sends family on a cruise, and surprises them with everyday luxuries
- Toppin's fashion sense and designer wardrobe are an "accessory" to his elite on-court play
As of November 11th, 2025, Texas Tech's star player JT Toppin is enjoying a meteoric rise both on and off the court. The reigning Big 12 Player of the Year and an All-America candidate, the 20-year-old Toppin has amassed a staggering $4 million in NIL and revenue share funds, believed to be the highest among college basketball returners.
Toppin's journey is a stark contrast to his humble beginnings. Growing up, his single mother Naomi struggled to provide for the family, even resorting to donating plasma when money was tight. But now, Toppin is using his newfound wealth to spoil his loved ones, buying his mom a seven-bedroom house in Dallas, sending the family on a cruise to the Bahamas, and surprising them with everyday luxuries like DoorDashed dinners and Dubai chocolates.
Despite his high-end fashion sense, which includes designer jeans, Louis Vuitton sneakers, and Goyard bags, Toppin's coaches say his love for designer clothes is merely an "accessory" to his elite on-court play. Known for his relentless motor and soft touch around the rim, Toppin is an explosive scorer who is expected to boost his NBA draft stock even further this season.
