Evan Stewart, Oregon’s Highest NIL Valuation
The highest NIL valuation for an Oregon Duck is wide receiver Evan Stewart, whose valuation is at $1.1 million. Stewart has over 2.4 million followers across his social media platforms of Instagram, TikTok, and X. His first two seasons of college were spent at Texas A&M before he transferred to Oregon prior to the 2024 season.
Stewart was the third leading receiver for the Ducks in 2024 with 613 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns He is in line to be the Ducks No. 1 wide receiver in 2025 due to Oregon’s top two targets, wide receiver Tez Johnson and wide receiver Traeshon Holden, entering the 2025 NFL Draft.
Dante Moore's NIL Potential
Quarterback Dante Moore’s current NIL valuation is a $341 thousand. Moore may have the highest ceiling when it comes to potential NIL earnings for the 2025 season.

The only one that isn’t is Ohio State Buckeyes wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, who is third on the list with a valuation of $4.0 million. Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning has the highest valuation of any player in college sports of $6.6 million.
If Moore leads the Ducks to a successful season, his number of $341 thousand will skyrocket up.
