Top 5 richest Miami Hurricanes based on NIL
MIAMI (BVM) – The landscape of college athletics continues to change thanks in part to the prevalence of name, image and likeness deals. Numerous athletes throughout the country have earned lucrative NIL deals over the past several years, and some of college sports’ top NIL earners reside at the University of Miami.
Several of Miami’s athletic teams have been on the rise recently as the Hurricanes’ football program looks poised for a College Football Playoff berth in 2024 and may produce a Heisman winner with quarterback Cam Ward. The Canes’ men’s basketball program is also just two years removed from a Final Four, while the women’s basketball program has made multiple NCAA Tournament appearances recently, highlighted by a run to the Elite Eight in 2023.
Multiple athletes from each of these programs have cashed in on NIL deals and continue to increase their following with the success they are having. Here’s a look at the five Miami athletes with the highest NIL valuation. The financial data is sourced from On3, the industry’s leading index for analyzing “performance, influence and exposure,” to estimate the “projected annual dollar value” for these athletes.
