$1,000,000 NIL-valued Jared McCain drops heartwarming message as Duke thrashes Miami in 84-55 showdown - “To my city"

Jared McCain seemingly had a special message for the city of Durham after the No. 8 Duke Blue Devils crushed the Miami Hurricanes 84-55 in their college basketball matchup on Wednesday. The guard contributed seven points, five rebounds and one assist in the important win.

McCain, who has NIL deals worth $1 million, as per On3, took to Instagram to celebrate the win. He uploaded pictures of his outing in the game and captioned the post:

"305 To My City"

Notably, "305 To My City" is a popular song by Canadian music artist Drake. However, in his Instagram post, McCain appeared to reference that the win over Miami was another important step for Duke and the victory was for its fans in Durham.

McCain is growing into one of the Blue Devils' most important offensive players in his freshman year. The guard will be hoping to continue his good run for Duke, who will be aiming to win the NCAA championship.

Meanwhile, McCain is also building on his net worth. As per reports, he has signed endorsement deals with Crocs and Celsius this year.
