Clayton put the Gators on his back during the tourney, finishing with 30+ points in both the Elite Eight and Final Four.
He also dished out seven assists in Florida’s thrilling 65-63 win over Houston in the national championship game, securing the program’s first title since 2007.

Most betting sites have offered odds on the tournament MVP for a few years now, but sportsbooks based in Nevada have only been allowed to bet on March Madness props since 2016.
