NILSU: Three Tigers crack On3’s top 100 rankings for NIL
The game change for collegiate athletes back on Jul. 1, 2021. This was the day it was announced that they could finally cash in on their name, image, and likeness. Prior to this date, athletes couldn’t make money and maintain their amateur status as NCAA athletes.
Players such as Spencer Rattler launched his own loge, we saw DJ Uiagalelei in Dr. Pepper commercials. Even LSU quarterback Myles Brennan got into the action as he was given a new truck as he would represent the brand of Ford trucks for a local car dealership.
Recently On3 launched their NIL coverage with the top 100 athletes and what they could earn. It was based on their popularity and social media following.
The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
A trio of LSU Tigers made the list. Starting at No. 49 is LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr that recently declared for the NFL draft.
