The money game: 10 richest LSU athletes based on NIL

9. Emery Jones, football 

The LSU offensive lineman holds an NIL valuation of $279,000 – in part thanks to his 20,000 followers on Instagram and X. 

Jones’ first major NIL deal was with Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys. He now holds additional deals with Sunshine Quality Solutions (a John Deere dealership) and Williams Architecture. He’s also collaborated with BurgerIM Baton Rouge on a burger menu item. He even sells his own merchandise for as much as $45.00.
