Top 5 NIL valuations in College Football are owned by Quarterbacks | Two of them are on Texas
Texas and Colorado both have two players on the NIL valuations Top-5 players list.
According to On3, the five highest valued college football players are as follows:
- Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado – 4.7 million
- Arch Manning, QB, Texas – 2.8 million
- Travis Hunter, CB/WR, Colorado – 2.3 million
- Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas – 1.9 million
- Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama – 1.6 million
This list is pretty wild, considering Arch Manning, the grandson of former Ole Miss star and NFL quarterback Archie Manning, and the nephew of two-time Super Bowl champion quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Eli Manning, committed to Texas in 2022 as a five-star recruit and served as the Longhorns’ primary third-string quarterback in 2023, and did not even start a game yet.
Both Quinn Ewers and Shedeur Sanders are considered the top quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft. It will be interesting to see if this changes this year, but these numbers are insane.
