The latest NIL valuations are out from On3 and there's some very familiar names on top. Bronny James and Arch Manning benefitted from their family names in their rise to the top 2 on the list. They're also amazing athletes, but having an already famous last name gave them a head start when it came to NIL money. Livvy Dunne comes in at number 3 with a huge following. She's even popping up on tv commercials. It's just insane how Bronny is almost double what anyone else is making. It shows how much more the rest can make. Here's the Top 10. One of them is a former Florida High School student - we'll get to that. But also to note is what former North Fort Myers High School legend Deion Sanders is doing with Colorado. He's got two of his guys in the top 7! Not bad for a team that went 1-11 last year. Coach is putting in work.
If you're a Miami Hurricanes fan (Pete) and you're wondering where the Cavinder Twins are on this list - don't fret. Combined they would be in 7th place. The list has them as individuals, placing them both in a tie for 31st. Still making a decent living playing college ball.
So let's take a look at the athletes that came out of a Florida High School. If you're here in the Sunshine state with aspirations, these might be the ones to follow to see how they're making it happen. And it's not all Miami high schools. Former Tampa and Bradenton students made the Top 100 list as well.
