Top 5 richest Clemson Tigers based on NIL

5. Sammy Brown

Brown’s $376,000 NIL valuation is exceptionally high for a freshman athlete. This figure has remained steady since his days as a five-star recruit and a top-two linebacker in the Class of 2024.

“The way that I’ve looked at NIL throughout this whole process is just as a byproduct of my commitment,” Brown said after committing to Clemson. “I didn’t really get into it, I didn’t ask for anything and everything that they told me about NIL was brought up by them, nothing by me because I don’t think that really matters. I’m going to college to play football and not to make money.” 

Brown’s NIL worth is poised to climb higher, especially after thriving in his first career start in early November. Beyond his roster value, he’s highly marketable, already boasting 90,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok and X.  

Five-star recruits KJ Bolden and Sammy Brown have inked endorsement contracts with Super Patch Company.
