Malik Nabers NIL Earnings: How Much Did He Make From NIL Deals at LSU?

Malik Nabers was impressive for LSU last season, averaging 120.7 yards per game. Being a part of the famous LSU offensive line, he will follow Justin Jefferson and Ja’marr Chase from Baton Rouge to the NFL. Adding cherry to the cake is his addition to the ‘Hey Rookie’ class of 2024, an NFL annual series based on the journey of top college football players to the NFL.

Nabers finished his season with the Tigers, breaking the charts in all-time receiving yards and touchdowns. With such a performance, he has amassed a massive following on social media and a lot of attention ahead of the NFL draft, where he may rake in millions. But what is his valuation as an LSU player?
