Haley Cavinder

When NIL launched on July 1, 2021, Haley and Hanna Cavinder were ready to jump into the new world of college athletics. Each has more than 700,000 followers on Instagram. Their combined TikTok has a following of 4.5 million. They made an immediate impact, becoming the faces of NIL right out of the gate with a number of landmark deals. The twins defined what it means to control the NIL market. After a successful run at Fresno State, the twins transferred to Miami for the 2022-2023 season. The twins spent one year in Coral Gables before retiring and focusing on their influencer brand. However, Haley decided to return to basketball – announcing in October 2023 that she was transferring to TCU for the 2024-2025 season. Regardless of the success in NIL, Haley was just as successful on the court. During her junior season at Fresno State, Cavinder set the NCAA record for free-throw percentage in a season, converting 109-of-112 for 97.3 percent. She also became just the third player in Mountain West history, and the first since 2006, to lead the league in scoring and rebounding. At Miami, Haley was a second-team All-ACC pick after averaging 12.2 points and 4.9 rebounds in the 2022-2023 season.
