Top 10 richest Texas HS football players based on NIL in 2023

No. 10 – Taylor Tatum 

The 5-foot-10 running back from Longview High School has a NIL valuation of $189,000. He’s new to this top 10 list as he enters the 2023-24 football season.

There’s a ton of hype surrounding Tatum that’s adding to his marketability. The No. 1 RB in the country (247 Sports Composite) is having a stellar senior season thus far; he totaled 149 rushing yards and had a 64-yard TD run and 31-yard passing TD in his first game of the season. 

Tatum committed to play both football and baseball at Oklahoma in July. Being a two-sport athlete will help with multiple different types of NIL deals. He has roughly 25,000 followers to capitalize off of, but that number is bound to increase considering that he’ll have two fanbases in the future.
