Bronny James’ $6.3 million, Shareef O’Neal’s $2.3 million, and Arch Manning with $2.1 million round out On3’s top 5 NIL valuations

Arch Manning, Bronny James, and Shareef O’Neal are some of the game’s youngest stars, and they’re also valued at ridiculous amounts.

All three of them also follow in the footsteps of some very successful people. Bronny is, of course, LeBron James’ son, making his way through high school right now at Sierra Canyon. We all know about LeBron’s greatness, of course. He’s a four-time championship winner and perhaps the greatest or second-greatest player of all time.

LeBron hopes to be able to play with his son one day, and he’s made that goal abundantly clear every time anyone brings up retirement.

Arch Manning is the nephew of both Eli Manning and Peyton Manning, two quarterbacks with four Super Bowls between them, and he’s currently a standout at his high school, Isidore Newman. Arch is already being highly recruited by top colleges like Alabama, Texas, and more.

Shareef O’Neal is the son of Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal, and while it looked like he may have had a great career in the NBA, a heart condition turned his career around completely. Shareef played for UCLA and LSU, and now there are rumors that the Lakers may give him a shot.

What is the NIL Valuation?

So, what exactly is the On3 NIL valuation? It’s a metric used by On3 to set the market value for high school and college athletes. The number indicates how valuable an athlete is at the moment. They use a number of factors to gauge this number.

However, the two biggest metrics used are an athlete’s social media presence and their level of athletic performance. Generally, a standard value is generated using the number of followers the athlete has on various social media platforms with each platform being weighted differently.
