The money game: 10 richest LSU athletes based on NIL

6. Harold Perkins, football 

The LSU linebacker maintains an NIL valuation of $577,000. 

Perkins was bound to find success in the NIL landscape as a top-two HS linebacker in the nation for the Class of 2022. He’s now an even bigger target for brand deals as someone with 80,000 followers across Instagram and X. 

Perkins has accomplished many different opportunities in the NIL realm. He is an ambassador for Raising Cane’s, he sells apparel for as much as $50.00 and he often posts advertisements for the global nutrition group Optimum Nutrition, shown below.
