Oklahoma's Trae Young has his first major endorsement deal. 

ESPN's Darren Rovell reports that Young has signed with Adidas, spurning a lucrative deal with Puma that would make him the face of their restart into the basketball industry and other apparel companies like Nike and Under Armour. 

Young, the first college player to lead the country in points (27.4) and assists (8.7) per game, joins NBA superstars Damian Lilliard and James Harden as a member of the Adidas family. 

The former Oklahoma point guard is set to hear his name called on Thursday, June 21 at the NBA Draft.
