Kwamie Lassiter II is an American professional football wide receiver — not a defensive back, despite the position his father played. He is the son of former NFL defensive back Kwamie Lassiter Sr. Lassiter II has bounced between NFL practice squads, brief active-roster stints, and the UFL. He is not a well-known public figure, and no reliable public net worth figure exists for him.
Early Life & Family
Lassiter was born on January 21, 1998, in Chandler, Arizona, and attended Hamilton High School there. He comes from a football family: his father, Kwamie Lassiter Sr., played defensive back at the University of Kansas in the early 1990s before a ten-season NFL career, mostly with the Arizona Cardinals.
Rise to Fame
Lassiter joined the Kansas Jayhawks football program as a walk-on receiver in 2016 and developed into the team’s leading pass-catcher, using an extra season of eligibility to play five years (2016-2021) at Kansas. He finished his college career with 148 receptions for 1,550 yards and seven touchdowns, earning All-Big 12 honorable mention recognition twice, including a season as Kansas’s leading receiver in 2020.
Career History
Lassiter went unselected in the 2022 NFL Draft and signed with the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted free agent in May 2022, spending parts of the 2022 and 2023 seasons with the team before being released during 2024 training camp. He then played for the Memphis Showboats of the UFL, signing in December 2024 and recording 257 receiving yards and one touchdown across eight games in the 2025 UFL season. In July 2025 he signed with the Kansas City Chiefs after a workout but did not remain on the roster. He was retained by the Louisville Kings (a continuation of the Showboats’ roster) heading into the 2026 UFL season but reportedly dealt with a training-camp injury and did not make the team’s final roster, leaving him a free agent as of early 2026.
How They Built Their Wealth
As an undrafted free agent across both the NFL and UFL, Lassiter’s reported career earnings come from rookie/free-agent-level NFL contracts and UFL league-minimum salaries, which are considerably lower than standard NFL pay. No endorsement income or other notable revenue sources have been publicly reported, and no credible net worth estimate exists for him.
Personal Life
Lassiter comes from a large athletic family. Beyond his father’s NFL career, he has two younger brothers who also played college football — Kwinton at Kansas and Darius at BYU — and a sister, Darian, who was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
Kwamie Lassiter II’s career has so far been defined by persistence through practice squads, brief NFL looks, and spring-league football rather than sustained NFL success, and there is no verifiable net worth figure to report for him.
