Elite prospect Nate Ament scheduled to visit Duke Blue Devils amid $30,000 worth of interest from Louisville fans 

Nate Ament, the highest-ranked uncommitted player in the Class of 2025, signed an NIL deal with team-building platform Fanstake on Wednesday. The app lets fans pledge financial support, called stakes, to sway players like Ament to their favorite school.

Louisville fans have pledged $30,000 to convince Ament to join them. Meanwhile, he is scheduled for a visit to Duke this weekend during their match against their arch-rivals University of North Carolina, according to On3's Joe Tipton.

The 6-foot-9 small forward narrowed down his list of colleges two weeks ago. These included Alabama, Arkansas, BYU, Duke, Georgetown, Kansas State, Kentucky, Louisville, Notre Dame, Tennessee and Texas.

With Fanstake, Nate Ament is under no obligation to attend the college with the biggest stake, and fans will be repaid in full if he chooses another program. However, following his decision, 90% of the funds will be allocated to him, 3% to his colleagues, and 7% to Fanstake.

“I’m proud to partner with Fanstake,” Ament said. “This platform gives fans a unique way to be part of the recruiting process, which is pretty cool. I’m still weighing my options for where I’ll play, and there’s a lot to consider, but it’s exciting to see how fans can get involved in helping me find the right fit.”

Before his deal with Fanstake, Ament also partnered up with Reebok. He talked about the deal with Swish Cultures in a video posted on YouTube in November.

"Obviously I didn't really know about Reebok," Ament said (0:55). "I don't know much about clothing brands, to be honest, (or even) shoe companies. But once I did my research, researched their products, the management, the people they've brought in, it was really just a no-brainer for me."
