But I think this just might mean more with Arch because it might just carry a little bit more weight because of that Manning last name.'

Bronny has already done multiple NIL deals - including his own underwear collection - and is extremely active on social media. Lakers superstar LeBron James and, like Manning, is still in high school. Thus far, Manning's NIL strategy has been the opposite of Bronny James.

Through its algorithm designed by spiny.ai, which weighs a variety of factors into three subgroups which include an athlete's social media presence, performance on the field and involvement with existing endorsements and collectives, On3's valuation pegs Manning as worth $3.4 million in NIL. But none of that has stopped On3 Sports from trying to estimate the wealth of the most famous high school football player in the country.

Whether Manning will take advantage of the new ruling is unknown, given his unique family circle and public unwillingness to dive into the world of NIL, at least for now.
