Ranking the LSU recruiting class using On3 NIL Valuations

The LSU Tigers have the No. 17 overall 2022 recruiting class, according to the On3 Consensus Team Rankings. Those incoming talented players have the ability to capitalize on NIL opportunities during the collegiate career — and On3’s NIL Valuation shows how large their digital footprints in regard to social media followings are.

Star values are important in recruiting, and the player rankings reflect that. But let’s throw that to the side for the moment and take a look at each players’ On3 NIL Valuation and rank them that way.

LSU’s On3 NIL Valuation Alpha Dog

Walker Howard: St. Thomas More (LA) — Four-stars — $83,000

First, let’s start with the Tigers top dog — Walker Howard. The four-star product of St. Thomas More High School is currently leading the way with LSU’s largest incoming NIL valuation at $83,000. That’s good for 181 in the country throughout college football and has 31K followers throughout his social media platforms.

Howard is ranked the No. 47 player in the country, No. 6 quarterback and No. 5 player in Louisiana, according to the On3 consensus, which is a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also received interest from Notre Dame and Alabama.
