Trae Young will serve as assistant GM, Young announced on ESPN’s NBA Today on Monday.
The former OU star also said he would be making a $1 million donation to the program.
“I think obviously today the game has changed,” Young said’ “With NIL… I think it’s the perfect time for guys to be more involved with the schools that helped make them who they were.”
“It’s exciting to be a part of this. Being from Norman and playing there, this is exciting times and I’m looking forward to being in this new role.”
Last Nov, Young signed with Jordan Brand. With both Young and Oklahoma under the Jordan umbrella, it opened the door for Young to work more directly with OU basketball.
His role as assistant GM only serves to deepen those ties.
“To be able to represent even more, it’s more special,” Young said.

He’s always been a loyal OU guy. Great to see, giving back. Might help in recruiting too. Frees up $1m to use on NIL also. When will other SEC teams ex players step up like this?
At least he’s helping plus donating. We need it
