Ranking the USC recruiting class using On3 NIL Valuations

USC has the No. 51 recruiting class of 2022, according to the On3 Consensus Team Rankings. Those talented players have the ability to capitalize on NIL opportunities — and On3’s NIL Valuation shows how big their followings are.

Star values are important in recruiting, and the player rankings reflect that. But in this new era of college sports, it’s also interesting to know which players are in position to capitalize the most on NIL opportunities.

Below is the USC 2022 recruiting class ranked according to their On3 NIL Valuation. The Trojans have one of the smallest classes with just eight players committed thus far, but makes up for this with 12 transfers.

USC On3 NIL Valuation Top Dog

Raleek Brown: Santa Ana (CA) receiver — Four-stars — $85,000

Brown leads the way for the Trojans with an NIL valuation of $85,000. That number is good enough to rank him 13th in the On3 NIL High School Football Rankings. His largest social media presence is on Instagram, where he has 35,000 followers.

The California native is a four-star recruit and the No. 9 receiver in the 2022 class according to On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was originally committed to play for Oklahoma, but flipped to the Trojans when Sooners coach Lincoln Riley left for USC.
