Miles Kelly didn’t just level up—he shot up, quite literally. As a 5-foot-6 freshman, he had to rely on crafty shooting to get his buckets. Now, at 6-foot-6, he no longer has to work so hard to see over defenders. “It’s better to be taller than short in the basketball world,” Kelly once said. “But it’s helped tremendously, me being able to get my shot off over people, being able to shoot over people, being able to drive the lanes, being able to finish over guards”.

Last season alone, he drained 14 threes from 25-plus feet—a domain usually reserved for heat checks and prayer shots. But Kelly isn’t just growing his game; he’s growing his brand. With his sharpshooting magic and a prime role at Auburn, his NIL value is rising just as fast as his jumper. And it won’t be long before he is a threat not just from deep, but a player to watch in the business of college basketball.

What are Miles Kelly’s NIL deals as of 2025?

Auburn’s ‘On To Victory’ NIL collective announced in late 2024 that Kelly was among athletes signed for promotional work, including social media posts and appearances, though exact financial details aren’t publicly specified. However, an

AL.com article by Matt Stahl, notes the collective’s focus is majorly on local business tie-ins. Industry norms from On3 suggest such deals for players of his caliber typically range from $10,000 to $20,000 annually, often with perks like free meals.

Kelly attended the Parkview High School, where he played under coach John Collins. As a star for the Panthers, he averaged an impressive 19.1 points per game, along with 5.8 rebounds and 2.0 steals. His performance earned him second-team all-county honors but his achievement went beyond athletics. Kelly excelled academically as well, maintaining a spot on the honor roll and dean’s list during his time at Parkview.

Kelly then went to Hargrave Military Academy for his final high school season. Under coach Thomas Messinger and with Kelly on the roster, the team’s only loss came against DME Academy in the opening round of the National Prep Championship.

Also, his 7.1 deflections were the highest among the Tigers. On February 23, Kelly joined an elite group by surpassing 1,000 career points, scoring a team-high 27 points in a win over Hosanna College. His remarkable performance made him eligible for a nomination for the McDonald’s All-American Game.
