Ridge Community three-star athlete Joe Jackson, Meridian (Idaho) Rocky Mountain three-star interior offensive lineman Jackson Fullmer and Phoenix (Ariz.)

Lester has an On3 NIL Valuation of $5.7K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
