USC Trojans star Bronny James has held dominion over the NIL rankings since he was a high school student at Sierra Canyon and before he took his talents and celebrity sway to Southern California.
According to On3, James has a NIL valuation of $5.8 million, which places him first on the NIL 100 list, a position he hasn't yet yielded to No. 2, Colorado's Shedeur Sanders, whose valuation is $4.7 million.
James signed with Klutch Sports Group to help him with NIL endorsements. The group belongs to renowned sports agent Rich Paul, who has a working relationship with his dad, LeBron James.
