Cooper Flagg’s Mom Signs Deal Amid Son’s Freshman Season at Duke.
Following a freshman season for the history books from Cooper Flagg, his mother Kelly Flagg has cashed in on an endorsement deal.
The 18-year-old led his Duke Blue Devils to the NCAA Final Four, only to fall in a heartbreaker to the Houston Cougars.
Flagg is projected to be the top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. He will have numerous endorsement opportunities, but this one belongs to his mother.
She recently posted a partnership deal with Dr. Scholl’s, a foot and skincare product.
“I’m excited to be partnering with Dr. Scholl’s® because as a mom of three boys who are all involved in sports, I know just how much energy and effort it takes to keep up,” posted Kelly Flagg. “Moms are the unseen force behind every athlete – whether we’re cheering from the sidelines, hustling between games, or making sure they’re fueled and ready to go. We’re putting in just as many miles as they are! Dr. Scholl’s® insoles are that little boost that helps us keep moving, no matter what the day throws at us.”
Kelly Flagg was a college basketball player herself. She played at the University of Maine in the late 1990s. During the 1998-1999 season, she helped Maine win its first-ever NCAA Tournament game. Her husband, Ralph, played at Eastern Maine Community College.
During Cooper Flagg’s high school career in Maine, he played for the United States under-17 team in the Basketball World Cup. During that tournament, he scored 9.3 points and 10 rebounds per game.
While at Duke, Cooper Flagg played in 37 games and scored 19.2 points per game. Flagg also grabbed 7.5 rebounds and dished out 4.2 assists per game.
Regarding endorsements, Cooper Flagg already has a deal in place with New Balance and was also the first men’s college basketball player to be sponsored by Gatorade.
