Bronny James, Ohio State WR Marvin Harrison Jr. Dominating NIL Rankings
Whether it's future or current Ohio State Buckeyes, the offspring of athletic royalty are reaping the rewards and then some from NIL.
Per On3's latest NIL Valuations, Ohio State receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. and Buckeyes basketball recruiting target Bronny James both find themselves in the top 10 of "amateur" athletes with the most earnings from NIL.
It comes as little surprise that Bronny, the son of NBA legend LeBron James, is at the top of the list. Harrison Jr., the son of Hall of Fame NFL receiver Marvin Harrison, comes in at No. 7.
James is No. 1 in NIL earnings and it's really not close. At an estimated $7.5 million, he's doubled the earnings of Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning, who's No. 2 on the list at $3.7 million. James announced previously that he's cut his commitment list to three, as he's likely to choose between Ohio State, Oregon or USC.
Harrison Jr. is estimated at $1.6 million in earnings, which has him close to a tie with Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders who, of course, is the son of NFL legend and Buffs coach Deion Sanders.
Should the Buckeyes secure a future commitment from James, his NIL value would likely soar to even greater heights. But for now, fans in Columbus are focused on the sensational career that still lies ahead for Harrison Jr.
