17-Year Old Bryson Warren Gets Paid $100K to Play Basketball
17-year-old Bryson Warren makes at least $100,000 a year as a high school student-athlete while playing for Overtime Elite, a New York-based company that recruits outstanding high school basketball players around the world to play at its academy in Atlanta according to CNBC.
The Little Rock, Arkansas native was ranked as the No. 14 basketball player his class in the nation. Warren got scholarships officers from colleges across the country since he was 14. However, recently he decided to sign with the Overtime Elite. While being an athlete at Overtime, Warren still goes to classes in the afternoon after training and practice on weekdays. Warren could also get a high school diploma and later take college-level courses. While at the same time, he would be earning at minimum $100,000 with on-court performance bonuses of over $1 million.
“Not too many 17-, 18-, 19-year-olds can say they made at least $100K,” Warren told CNBC. “We’re just really getting a head start on life, just playing the game we love.”
Warren is using part of his salary to help the athletes in his hometown by investing in a co-educational AAU basketball team for kids in the 2nd – 6th grade.
Warren hopes that joining Overtime Elite will guide him to his goal of making the NBA.
“You could see Overtime as a risk, or you can see it as an opportunity,” he says. “This is the opportunity I chose, and it’s the one I’m going to live with, and I’m at peace now.”
