Oregon NIL Roster Value: College Football's Most Expensive Team

Oregon doesn't have the sport's most famous quarterback or its biggest fan base by follower count. What it has, according to termiNIL's model, is the most expensive roster in college football — and it got there in a way most top-heavy programs don't.

Most rankings of "which team has the most NIL money" answer the question with one number and stop. That flattens the more useful story: Oregon's total is built on unusual balance between its passing-game rooms, not on one runaway valuation carrying the rest of the roster.

How much is Oregon's NIL roster value in 2026?

$51.8 million, as of September 14, 2026, spread across 103 scholarship players who average $503K each. That's the highest roster value of any of the 138 programs in termiNIL's model, 3.9% ahead of Texas ($49.9M) and 5.9% ahead of Ohio State ($48.9M).

Only three Ducks clear $2 million, and the gap from #1 to #10 is steep — Dante Moore is worth nearly six times as much as Na'eem Offord. That's a normal shape for a roster this size: value concentrates hard at the top, then thins out fast.

Which position group is worth the most on Oregon's roster?

This is where Oregon looks different from most top-25 programs. Wide receiver and quarterback are effectively tied for the largest share of the roster's value, each right around 19.7% of the total. Edge rusher is a clear third at 12.2% of the roster, followed by safety (11.9%) and cornerback (9.5%).

That near-tie matters because it isn't the national pattern. Across all 14,519 players in termiNIL's model, the median quarterback ($585K) is worth 10.3 times the median wide receiver ($57K), and the position's national total ($599.6M) still runs ahead of wide receiver's ($575.7M) despite more than three times as many scholarship receivers being priced. Oregon's receiver room — anchored by three players above $1.9M — has been built to match its quarterback room dollar for dollar, not trail it.

How does Oregon compare to the rest of college football?

The average FBS roster is worth $21.8M. Oregon's is worth 2.4 times that, and its $503K average per player is 2.4 times the $207K mean across the sport's 14,519 tracked players. Oregon's $51.8M also represents 1.72% of the entire $3.00B national NIL market on its own — one of 138 programs holding nearly two cents of every modeled dollar in the sport.

What isn't in this number?

termiNIL's plausibility audit holds six Oregon valuations out of the ranked tables above. Five are priced in seven figures without enough grade or snap data yet to support that number; one carries an elite grade but is priced too low for it. All six are excluded from the leaderboards until the model has more to work with, but their dollars are still counted in the $51.8M roster total — that figure, like every team total on termiNIL, includes every scholarship player regardless of ranking eligibility.
