Who were the highest zero earners in college football in Week 7?

Zero deals have changed the landscape of college sports forever. Nowhere is this more prevalent than in college football, where programs compete in the transfer portal for the top high school recruits and players.

In Week 7 of the college football season, we saw some incredible games, including three matchups against ranked teams. The No. 3 Oregon Ducks won their massive Big 10 game against the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes 32-31.

It should come as no surprise that one of the biggest risers in this week’s NIL rating shared by On3 was a player from Oregon. Defensive tackle Derrick Harmon came in at No. 2 this week, earning $275,000, making him the top pick.

His teammate, wide receiver Evan Stewart, came in at No. 8 with a net worth of $118,000. He couldn’t be stopped by the Buckeyes, hauling in seven receptions for 149 yards and a score.

In the loss, Ohio State star wide receiver Emeka Egbuka saw a $70,000 increase in value, finishing in 15th place.

In another matchup between ranked teams, the No. 1 Texas Longhorns went on the road and defeated the No. 18 Oklahoma Sooners 34-3. Longhorn offensive tackle Cameron Williams took first place with a plus $275,000.

The quarterback he protected, Quinn Ewers, was No. 13 at $82,000.

In the last ranked versus ranked matchup, it was the No. 13 LSU Tigers who earned an overtime victory over the No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels in Death Valley. Their quarterback, Garrett Nussmeier, was No. 4 on the list at $196,000.

Well-traveled Louisville Cardinals quarterback Tyler Shough, who is in the sixth year of his college career, took third place with $258,000. He led his team to a win over the Virginia Cavaliers in Week 7 before a huge matchup with the No. 6 ranked Miami Hurricanes next weekend.

Rounding out the top five is West Virginia Mountaineers EDGE rusher TJ Jackson. The transfer from the Troy Trojans has wreaked havoc on opposing backfields all season, earning him a $174,000 bump to his zero value.

Kansas State Wildcats running back DJ Giddens, Clemson Tigers quarterback Cade Klubnik, Vanderbilt Commodores quarterback Diego Paiva and South Carolina Gamecocks EDGE rusher Kyle Kennard were the other players who posted six-figure additions last week.
