Top 10 richest Ohio State football players based on NIL
No. 6 – Tommy Eichenberg
Eichenberg, a graduate student and linebacker at OSU, has a NIL valuation of $465,000.
In 2022, he racked up 120 total tackles and 12 tackles for loss. Eichenberg enters his final season with extreme marketability as one of the best linebackers in the country who has the potential to be a top 10 linebacker taken in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Eichenberg has the fewest number of followers to capitalize off of on this list – 17,000 followers across Instagram and X to be exact. But that’s because his X account is private and he doesn’t allow comments on his Instagram. Even though he leads a fairly private life, he’s still worth nearly half a million when it comes to his name, image and likeness.
Eichenberg doesn’t have many sponsorship deals according to reports. But, he graduated in 2023 with his degree in real estate – which might come in handy for some NIL deals with real estate companies down the line.
