Top 5 richest Alabama HS football players based on NIL

No. 1 – Jaylen Mbakwe

Mbakwe, a 5-foot-11 cornerback at Clay-Chalkville High School, has a NIL valuation of $274,000. 

The Alabama commit is already projected by scouts to be a potential day-one NFL Draft choice, especially because of his speed (10.46 100-meter time). The hype so early on means that Mbakwe could be booking multiple-six figure deals in the years to come. 

So far, Mbakwe has over 24,000 followers across Twitter, TikTok and Instagram to capitalize on. 

Notably, he’s the No. 1 football player in Alabama and No. 19 nationally by 247 Sports Composite for the Class of 2024. 

Unfortunately, while Mbakwe is No. 1 on this Alabama high school football list, he actually doesn’t make it onto On3’s overall NIL 100 list.
