Star LSU linebacker [autotag]Harold Perkins[/autotag] capitalized on his name this week.
Perkins reached an NIL agreement with Sunshine Quality Solutions. In a statement, Sunshine Quality Solutions praised Perkins, calling him one of the best players in the country.
Star players signing NIL deals of this nature are critical to recruiting at a place like LSU. A lot of recruits are going to want to see evidence that LSU is a place where they can make the most of their time as a college athlete.
Freshman All-America Harold Perkins has signed a NIL deal with Sunshine Quality Solutions, a 17-location John Deere dealer located throughout Louisiana.
The LSU linebacker has a $613K On3 NIL Valuation.

Perkins, in particular, has a huge chance to cash in throughout his career. It’s rare a freshman earns the name recognition that he did last fall. He’ll now be at LSU at least two more years to continue building his NIL arsenal.

Earlier this week, LSU drew some attention to how prominent some of LSU’s women athletes are in the NIL space.
The addition of Haley Van Lith gives LSU four of the top women's athletes by NIL earning potential.

It’s worth noting that On3’s NIL valuation is just an estimate and not a report of signed deals.
