Top 5 richest Arkansas Razorbacks based on NIL

2. Ja’Quinden Jackson, football 

Jackson graduated high school in the Class of 2020, which was before the NIL era even began. Today, he holds the highest NIL valuation among Arkansas football players at $438,000. 

Given his talent and subsequent popularity, Jackson’s NIL value continues to soar. The running back ranks third in the FBS for rushing touchdowns and has seen his social media following skyrocket since joining the Razorbacks. Now boasting 40,000 followers across Instagram and X, he’s likely pocketing a pretty penny from his online merch that ranges from $35 tees to $120 jerseys.  

“Sometimes we (my family) had to struggle,” Jackson said on the Hogs Plus podcast. “My mamma has been working since she was 16… I have to repay her. If I was just doing this for me, I promise you I wouldn’t be here.”
