Two other high-profile LSU athletes, basketball player Shareef O’Neal and gymnast Olivia Dunne, are projected to be two of the highest-earning college athletes this year, though neither has announced NIL deals publicly. Dunne is represented by WME Sports. This list was compiled from the athletes’ personal announcements, LSU declined to provide information about the NIL deals, citing the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
