SAN DIEGO—High school basketball star and Memphis signee Mikey Williams has been arrested in a March shooting in San Diego County, authorities said.
The 18-year-old who is a top recruit in the 2023 class was arrested Thursday on multiple counts of assault with a firearm and was released after paying a $50,000 bond early Friday, San Diego County Sheriff’s Lt. Gavin Lanning said.
The Memphis athletics department said it is “aware of the situation” and is gathering more information.
Williams is one of the name, image and likeness era’s earliest stars, securing a multiyear deal with shoe and athletic apparel maker Puma for an undisclosed amount in 2021. He has millions of followers across his social media platforms and On3.com estimates his NIL valuation at $3.6 million….
