Washington NIL Marketplace Has Seen Massive Increase Ahead of National Championship
The Washington Huskies are set to square off against the Michigan Wolverines in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game on Monday at NRG Stadium.
As a result, the NIL resources for both programs have skyrocketed. According to Opendorse, their Washington NIL marketplace has seen a massive increase of 274% since they defeated Texas in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day.
There are a ton of players listed on the marketplace, with most of them ranging from $10-$20 dollars. However, Elijah Jackson has some as low as $1.
To no surprise, the stars are the most costly. Jalen McMillan has some starting from $56, and Rome Odunze has some beginning at $106, which makes sense for a player gaining serious traction as a potential top-10 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr., the Heisman Trophy runner-up and star in Seattle, has deals beginning at a price tag of $237 and as high as $825.
With a national title on the line and in the final game of the current Pac-12 Conference era, the Washington Athletics NIL marketplace has been buzzing since a stunning win over Quinn Ewers and the Texas Longhorns.
If they can defeat Jim Harbaugh and the undefeated Michigan Wolverines, expect the marketplace to go through the roof even more as they move to the Big Ten Conference in 2024.
