Kentucky's Justin Edwards first college athlete to join Klutch Athletics by New Balance brand

Justin Edwards is viewed by many as the top pick in this upcoming spring’s NBA draft.

But before the small forward turns his attention to his lottery pick status, he’s playing out his freshman season at Kentucky. The former five-star recruit and the nation’s No. 2 prospect in the 2023 class is averaging 14 points and six rebounds through two games this season.

Now he’s become the first college athlete and basketball player to sign with Klutch Athletics by New Balance. The sportswear brand founded by Rich Paul is available at select New Balance retail locations throughout the country.
