Volleyball NIL Rankings: What’s Published (and What Isn’t)
Everyone wants the list: the Top 20 volleyball NIL players, the richest programs, and where Harper Murray stacks up against a five-star quarterback. We went looking for a credible, current, published version. Here’s the honest scoreboard, checked Oct. 12, 2026.
Women’s volleyball Top 20: not published right now
On3’s College Volleyball NIL Valuations page currently shows “No NIL rankings available for this filter set.” Search snippets of that page show Nebraska’s Harper Murray listed with her NIL valuation as a dash, meaning no published figure.
We couldn’t find another public source that publishes a current, methodology-backed Top 20 of volleyball NIL valuations. Older articles quote figures from previous seasons, but those players have mostly graduated and the numbers are stale.
So we’re not publishing a Top 20. A list built from guesses would be fiction with a nice font.
Team NIL ranking: skipped
No credible public source ranks volleyball programs by NIL money. Building one ourselves would require player valuations that aren’t published. We’d rather leave the space empty than make it up.
Revenue-sharing totals by sport aren’t public school by school either. The House settlement cap of about $21.58M for 2026-27 applies to a whole athletic department, not to volleyball (ESPN on CSC filings).
The cross-sport reality check
What is published is On3’s NIL 100, its top 100 college athletes by On3 NIL Valuation. On Oct. 12, 2026, all 100 were football or men’s basketball players:
| On3 NIL 100 rank | Player | Sport | School | On3 NIL Valuation (published estimate) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Darian Mensah | Football | Miami | $6.5M |
| 2 | Milan Momcilovic | Basketball | Kentucky | $6.0M |
| 3 | Flory Bidunga | Basketball | Louisville | $6.0M |
| 4 | Dante Moore | Football | Oregon | $5.0M |
| 5 | Jeremiah Smith | Football | Ohio State | $5.0M |
| 64 | Anthony Colandrea | Football | Nebraska | $2.0M |
| 100 | Bear Alexander | Football | Oregon | $1.5M |
Source: On3 NIL 100, checked Oct. 12, 2026.
Where does Harper Murray sit? On3 currently publishes no valuation for her, so there’s no honest number to put next to Mensah’s. What we can say is that the No. 100 spot on the NIL 100 was valued at $1.5M, and no volleyball player appears on the list.
How to read these numbers
- They’re estimates, not earnings. On3 builds valuations from things like performance, social reach and market. They aren’t contracts, paychecks or tax records.
- They move constantly. Recheck the source before you quote anything.
- Revenue share is separate. School payments under the House settlement don’t show up in these valuations.
We’ll add a real volleyball list the moment a credible source publishes one, with the link and the date we checked.
