LSU’s star quarterback Garrett Nussmeier has kicked off his senior season with a significant Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) partnership. On Friday, Nike revealed a new endorsement deal with the Tigers’ standout player.
Nussmeier, widely regarded as one of the nation’s elite quarterbacks, had an impressive previous season, throwing for 4,052 yards and 29 touchdowns. This year, he has guided LSU to an undefeated 2-0 start, propelling the team to a No. 3 national ranking.
His on-field success has translated into substantial off-field earnings, with an On3 NIL Valuation of $4 million, placing him among the top-earning college football players.

With a $4 million On3 NIL Valuation, Nussmeier ranks No. 4 among college football players in NIL earnings, trailing only Texas’ Arch Manning, Miami’s Carson Beck, and Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith. In the broader On3 NIL 100, a pioneering ranking of top high school and college athletes based on their NIL valuations, Nussmeier holds the No. 5 spot.
