HuskerOnline – Nebraska NIL Tracker


The day is here. As of July 1, 2021, student-athletes are able to monetize their name, image and likeness.

Nebraska has been one of the major leaders of NIL since March of 2020 when they announced their partnership with Opendorse, a company that helps student-athletes brand themselves through social media and will now help them find smart sponsorships for their personal brands.

Several Husker student-athletes announced partnerships, paid social media posts and more. This is a Nebraska NIL Tracker to follow along with all the ways Husker student-athletes will be taking advantage of NIL.

Huskers gearing up for a major game-changer, NIL

Lexi Sun saw NIL coming her way and she planned accordingly. She announced on Wednesday night that her clothing line with Ren Athletics would launch at midnight on July 1.

As for her Sunny Crew, it is $58 and part of the proceeds go to a non-profit sports psychology organization.
