Following a dominant junior year where he led the Silver Creek basketball team to No.1 in the state, Trey Kaufman felt the need for a change. Entering his senior year, he decided to honor his mother and the role she’s played in his success. How? By adding her last name, “Renn”, to his own. “She’s been my biggest supporter since day one.”, Trey said. Supporter, sure, but Lara Renn also deserves credit as one of her son’s biggest inspirers.

Lara would drive her son to games and during the times he wasn’t napping in the passenger seat, they would discuss morality, ethics and everything under the Sun. Hence, developing a love for philosophy and tending to his curiosity as a teen. So, it served as no surprise when Trey decided to major in Philosophy at Purdue. While his mother surely fueled his academic endeavors, her role in his basketball career eclipses it. The No.4 jersey he’s proudly donned since his school days was also the number his mother wore during her high school basketball career. “The fact that she raised me as a single mom, she’s the biggest reason I’m here. Success in basketball but also success in life is because of her,” Trey said while giving his mother her flowers.

After playing a supporting role on a Purdue team rightfully centered around Zach Edey last year. Trey Kaufman-Renn has finally come into his own this season averaging 20.3 points, a major jump from his sophomore year where he averaged only 6.4 points per game. A positive sign for Matt Painter and Purdue who seek another ticket to the Finals.

What are Trey Kaufman-Renn’s NIL deals as of 2025?

A player of Trey’s influence is expected to have multiple NIL deals and offers. His On3 profile displays only one deal with the Boilermakers Alliance. While we could blame this on the private nature of NIL deals, another reason behind it could be Trey’s general dislike of the attention he receives on a daily basis. His presence on social media is also limited, which might seem ideal to focus more on being a basketball player but certainly hurts his marketability.

As part of his NIL deal with the Boilermakers Alliance, Trey and his Purdue teammates participated in a blood drive at the Versiti Blood Center of Indiana. By joining the Boilermakers alliance, Purdue student-athletes can engage in special appearances, autograph signings, social media promotions, camps, clinics and charity events and more. Athletes will agree to complete a specific amount of marketing work for charitable organizations to receive compensation.

Which high school did Trey Kaufman-Renn attend?

Trey attended high school at his mother’s alma matter, Silver Creek. 6-feet and 5-inches tall, 150 pounds in his freshman year, Coach Brandon Hoffman described him as “a newborn giraffe”, stating a lack of coordination between his arms and legs as the problem. That wasn’t the case for long though, as Trey erupted in his sophomore year. He averaged 15.1 points and 9.1 rebounds per game, leading the team to a 9-1 conference mark and a 19-3 overall record.

In his junior year, he averaged 25.8 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. Silver Creek was the No. 1 in the state before CoVid-19 unfortunately ended the season short. Also named Gatorade Player of the Year in Indiana, the season might have been cut-short but everyone knew a star had arrived.

The following summer, his recruiting took off. He started playing for Indiana Elite, a respected AAU program, and traveled to Chicago and Los Angeles to square up against top-ranked talent. As a rising senior at Silver Creek High School, he ranked 58th in the class, according to the 247Composite, and clearly a frontrunner for the following year’s Indiana Mr. Basketball. However, he lost the title to fellow Purdue recruit, Caleb Burst. He finished his high school career by scoring 1,832 points and grabbing 867 rebounds and setting the school record for career points. Owing to brilliant performances, he soon became a consensus top-40 prospect before his injury in November.

The problem with Kaufman-Renn is that his basketball talent overshadows his academic brilliance. Trey scored a perfect 4.0 grade in high school and was no.1 in his class academically. The perfect student-athlete, isn’t he? Trey received offers from Indiana, North Carolina and Virginia among others, but it was Matt Painter’s program at Purdue that appealed to him the most. He would spend his first college season as a redshirt, focusing on his rehab from the injury that ended his senior year in high school.

What is Trey Kaufman-Renn’s net worth and salary?

Trey does not earn a salary right now as he is a collegiate player, according to the laws of the NCAA. However, he does earn from NIL deals as part of the Supreme Court judgement that allowed players to profit from the deals. While an official figure isn’t available to the public, Trey’s net worth has been on a steady incline ever since he’s entered college. Being one of the most sought after prospects in his class, NIL deals were sure to arrive.

Trey’s NBA Draft stock would also play a major role in determining his net worth, as he is expected to be a second-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. The biggest knock on Kaufman-Renn’s game is the fact that he isn’t a 3-point shooter. And as insane as it might sound to a person from the 90s, big men are now expected to make their 3-point shots consistently. It is his role as a productive pick-and-roll screener and ability to make good decisions when on the ball, which would add to his massive upside.
