Posted by ESPN on June 6, 2025, 5:23 pm

Texas Tech superstar pitcher NiJaree Canady was the first $1 million softball player. She's also the second.

Canady has signed another seven-figure NIL contract with the Matador Club, the Red Raiders collective, her manager Derrick Shelby of Prestige Management told ESPN.

Sports humble you quickly.

Sign the deal, then get run out of the game after the first inning. I get that there are extenuating circumstances, high usage against the same great team, but it's still ironic.

Can't blame her. Grab the cash while you can. There are no lucrative pro deals waiting for softball players once college is over for them. Take advantage of the situation to make sure she has her education paid for and is set financially for the future. Hopefully the people representing her put her on the right path to making sure the money works for her long term.

Totally agree and good for her for cashing in, again! And Texas Tech is freaking loading up with talent from the portal. Tech also just got the left-handed pitching stud and OF Kaityln Terry from UCLA. What a 1 - 2 punch for Texas Tech. Tech also signed another All-American IF stud Mia Williams from Florida, and then Jackie Lis from SIU, who was a complete beast in the MVC (2024 MVP) the last few years. And a few days ago Texas Tech landed catcher Jasmyn Burns from Ohio State. On paper Texas Tech will be really tough...
