On Wednesday, ESPN analyst Paul Biancardi shared a video of BYU freshman AJ Dybantsa in Times Square, New York, on his Instagram story. The video in question showed AJ standing in front of an animated billboard of himself, a slideshow-style commercial for TigerData.

Biancardi captioned the video with just four words:

"Need one in Boston," playfully suggesting that he'd love to see a similar billboard spotlighting AJ in his hometown.

AJ Dybantsa, who, according to On3, has an NIL valuation of $4.1 million, has built an impressive portfolio of brand collaborations over the years. Some of his most notable partnerships include deals with Red Bull and Nike, two multibillion-dollar brands.

More recently, AJ also partnered with Fanatics and Fanatics Collectibles, a brand he previously partnered with during the McDonald's All-American Game.

The new deal focuses on trading cards and memorabilia and is designed to extend beyond his college career and into the NBA. As part of the agreement, AJ will also be featured in Fanatics' Bowman U program, along with other Bowman product offerings.

AJ is now gearing up to begin his college career with the BYU Cougars and has already moved to campus. He'll be joining BYU's freshman class alongside fellow Utah Prep graduate Xavion Staton and 6-foot-9 center Chamberlin Burgess.
