Top 10 richest Ohio State football players based on NIL

No. 2 – Emeka Egbuka   

Egbuka, a junior wide receiver for the Buckeyes, has a NIL valuation of $978,000. 

Egbuka cashes in big thanks to the great hype surrounding him. He’s ranked as the second-best wide receiver in college football heading into the 2023 season by ESPN. In 2022, Egbuka had 74 receptions, 1,151 receiving yards and 10 receiving touchdowns. Former NFL GM Rick Spielman even compared Egbuka to two-time Pro Bowl wideout Ja’Marr Chase. 

So far, Egbuka’s biggest reported deal is with Amazon Style. He was even featured on a billboard over one of the stores in Columbus. Egbuka will be booking more sponsorship deals sooner than later thanks to his massive success and 100,000 followers across Instagram and X.
