Top 10 richest Texas HS football players based on NIL

No. 1 – DJ Lagway 

Lagway, a 6-foot-2 QB at Willis High School, has a NIL valuation of $620,000. 

The big-time quarterback is expected to rack in six-figure deals once he joins the Florida Gators. Lagway is extremely marketable considering that he’s ranked as a five-star recruit and as the No. 5 overall prospect in the Class of 2024 by 247 Sports Composite. 

Lagway’s worth will double if he becomes the star QB for the Gators. In eight games as a junior this past season, Lagway threw for 2,081 yards, 24 TDs, and five INTs while completing 67% of his passes. 

His social following of 47,000 users across Instagram, TikTok and Twitter also makes him a big target for brand deals. 

Notably, Lagway is ranked on On3’s NIL 100 list at No. 73. He is the only football player in Texas to make the overall top 100.
