Ranking Clemson FB players based on On3’s NIL evaluation

Eighteen Tigers have NIL evaluations in the six figures.

While Clemson hasn’t made the most noise in the name, image and likeness world, the school’s athletes have still taken advantage of the opportunity.

Clemson football players have been in the headlines recently because of their deals. Sophomore quarterback Cade Klubnik signed a deal with Beats by Dre in August. Last month, running back Will Shipley partnered with Chipotle and had the downtown Clemson Chipotle location briefly named “Shipotle.”

Last updated on Wednesday, On3’s NIL evaluation algorithm uses a player’s national licensing and sponsorship market, as well as roster value, to calculate an estimated money amount for that player. Some of the college football players with the top evaluations include Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, Texas’ Arch Manning and USC’s Caleb Williams.

That said, here are the top Clemson football players with the highest NIL evaluations based on On3’s algorithm:

College Football: NIL was not a factor in Arch Manning choosing Texas

“Arch Manning is coming to Texas because he loves the University of Texas, he loves the coaches, and he loves the program. This is not about NIL.”

Name, Image and Likeness has changed the game of college sports since in inception back in 2021. Athletes are able to make money and negotiate NIL deals as soon as they step on a college campus.

Texas freshman quarterback Arch Manning is taking a different approach to his NIL opportunities.

Steve Sarkisian told reporters at the Houston Touchdown Club that NIL was not a factor in Manning committing to Texas.

“It had come down to us, Alabama, and Georgia, and in the end his dad texted me and said if there’s a message to tell any of the young recruits you’re recruiting, it’s that Arch Manning is coming to Texas because he loves the University of Texas, he loves the coaches, and he loves the program. This is not about NIL. He’s taken zero money from NIL while he’s at Texas.”

Manning is already one of the biggest names in college football without even taking a snap. The former five-star is listed most valuable player in college football in the On3 Sports NIL 100 valuation rankings.

Sarkisian later stated Manning is not planning to take any NIL money until he becomes a starter at the college level.
