10 richest California HS football stars based on NIL in 2023
No. 10 – Zabien Brown
Mater Dei cornerback Zabien Brown has a NIL valuation of $148,000. He’s ranked No. 91 overall in the national high school football NIL rankings.
Brown hasn’t reported any of his NIL deals yet (if he has any), but he is marketable as the No. 6 CB in the nation by 247 Sports Composite in the Class of 2024. It also helps that he’s a part of the powerhouse program Mater Dei and its “most loaded team yet” in terms of talent.
Brown has set himself in the right position for NIL money as an Alabama commit. Crimson Tide football players made more than $3 million in NIL money within the first year.
Notably, Brown has 11,000 followers across Instagram and X to capitalize off of.
