With every medal she won, her popularity rose. She became a people’s favorite with her incredible wins. In a new ranking released, Suni Lee found herself amongst the list of the Nation’s top 10 student-athletes. But why is the released list the new talk of the town?
Suni Lee’s incredible potential
Much like Hollywood celebrities, sports personalities enjoy a massive fan following. Be it Michael Phelps, Simone Biles, Lindsey Vonn, and others, their charisma does not just restrict to the sporting world. They became a household name, and as a result, their brand valuation increased.
The fans do not just celebrate their wins but also start to follow their styles and statements. With time, they thus become a sensation and youth icons too. Thus, their potential as brand ambassadors also increases.
Ever since her debut, Lee has signed multiple NIL deals. Now in a detailed ranking released by On3, the young gymnast, found her name in the list of Top 10 student-athletes who show sponsorship potential.
A sophomore at Auburn University in Alabama, the findings show that she has a market valuation of $1.5 million. The said valuation is based on the current sponsored posts and other endorsement contracts. In the list, mainly dominated by baseball and basketball players, Sunni, ranked 10, and Olivia, ranked 5th, are from the gymnastic background.
The On3 findings have got more to say
Lee was only among the two women who secured their place in the On3 findings. She was only surpassed on the list by LSU’s Olivia Dunne, a gymnast, with 2.3 million dollars in NIL money. The list had Dunne in fifth place, with Lee reaching tenth.
