Arch Manning threatens Olivia Dunne's status as NIL prodigy: How much is the young Manning's image worth?

Be careful, Livvy Dunne. Arch Manning is looking for your place in the NIL rankings.

Shedeur Sanders still leads the NIL rankings, but Bronny James suffered a resounding fall..

The world of name, image, and likeness (NIL) is a jungle. College athletes such as gymnast Olivia Dunne, basketball player Bronny James, and quarterback Arch Manning are in constant competition to improve their visibility and attract more sponsors. Dunne and James have gone down in this bitter fight while Manning continues to grow.

The NIL classification from the ON3 portal is the most popular and the most accurate in this sense. Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders is first on the list with an NIL value of $4.6 million. Dunne is in second place with $3.9 million.

However, the LSU Tigers star's spot has been in jeopardy since Manning's meteoric rise. The Texas Longhorns sophomore took advantage of James' resounding fall to climb to third place and now has Dunne's place in his sights.

Manning's NIL

As her last name indicates, Arch is the youngest member of the Manning dynasty. The family's patriarch, Archie Manning, is an NCAA and NFL legend. The Longhorns' signal-caller uncles are Peyton and Eli, both Super Bowl champions.

Arch is the eldest son of Cooper Manning, who chose a business and television career over sports. However, his son has stood out in his sports career and has been able to take advantage of the change in NCAA rules to grow his brand.

According to ON3, young Manning's NIL is $2.8 million. In mid-2023, Arch Manning signed his first major sponsorship, committing to a partnership with trading card company Panini America.

Although the quarterback has been cautious in the endorsement market, his presence on social media has been growing, and he currently has 301,000 followers. Although the number is far from Dunne's 13.2 million followers, Manning's career is just beginning.

The NIL Top-10

The Bronny James situation is shaky at best. The son of the legendary LeBron James has not yet decided if he will enter the 2024 NBA Draft, but his name appears in the NCAA transfer portal. This caused him to fall out of the ON3 ranking.

The Colorado cornerback Travis Hunter is fourth in the ON3 ranking, and Quinn Ewers, quarterback from Texas, closes the Top-5. Behind them, Jalen Milroe, Carson Beck, Jaxson Dart, Dillon Gabriel, and Cooper Flagg round out the Top-10.
