Top 5 richest NIL earners in college softball

No. 4 – Grace Lyons 

Lyons, a shortstop for Oklahoma, has a NIL valuation of $54,000. The fifth-year Sooner is in her last season of cashing in on NIL deals as a college softball player with over 68,000 followers. 

Her recent engagement to Sooners football player Michael Turk helped boost her social media presence and NIL deals as an Oklahoma power couple – which included this t-shirt ad alongside Turk. Not only does she sell her own merchandise, but the two-time national champion and 2023 captain booked deals with Chinook Seedery (flavored sunflower seeds) and she created a signature series glove with Resilient SFBL.  

Notably, Lyons lands at No. 47 overall on the Women’s NIL top 100 list.
