Key Points
The total estimated roster value for the USC Trojans in 2026 is significant, with a focus on high-value positions like quarterback and wide receiver.
Jayden Maiava, as the starting quarterback, leads the team in earnings, reflecting the high market value of quarterbacks in college football.
The figures represent estimated earnings based on NIL valuations, not actual salaries or contracts.

So Maiiaaiavvaai is making about twice as much as the Viking’s current starting quarterback. I like this AI thing. Wonder something, ask it and voila in the blink of an eye. Or the time it took each of Fake Lake’s wives to realize she’s made a huuuuuuuuuuuge mistake. sc

And took all of female kind an instant to dismiss you.  Leading you to know the flavor of a popsicle by sitting on it.

 

I have said all along Anderson is 1.1 million and I’ll stick to that.  Your query did not include Jakeem Stewart, who is being paid well to watch football alongside well paid Anderson.  Together they are making $2m a year to watch football.  No listing of Mosley or Bowman.  I ahve heard Bowman is making $2mil. No listing of Wafle.   So it’s curious for sure, those holes.

 

I would be shocked if Graham, Pierce, Urlacher, M Williams, Stephens, Van Summeren are making those numbers.

Whatever those corners are making, let’s get a refund.

Very interesting info Doc.  QB Maiava is worth every cent.  All DB’s and LB’s are over paid by 250K, I say GM Bowden slash their NIL pay.  Wr Anderson over paid by 475 K.

Java makes a good point.  I think TE M. Bowman is at 2 M per year or $6 M = 3 yrs.  DL Stewart = $2 M, so far bad deal (has not played and produced sheet).  The others Wr Mosley, DE Wafle, QB Jonas Williams, DL Tomu Topui, OL K. Pepe, Wr KD Wyatt, Wr Boobie Feaster, DB E. Hill must be big NIL deals too.

Don’t be surprised to see Stewart magically transfer this year.   Why?  Bowden will tell him “we paid you $4 million to do SH for us for two years.  I’ll pay you based on your production”  And he will get butt hurt and go sign with LSU for a million or whatever he can get.  And USC will spend that cash elsewhere.  Rightfully so.  Not sure where USC gets their NIL $ but I didn’t see Jonas Williams on there either.

They will have quite a bit coming off this year if they cut Stewart and Anderson goes, and Maiava and Jordan.  That’s what, 6-7 mil right there?

Dang with dat kind of pay, why are our D players playing like sheet?  Heck, if I were paid like dat, I would kill on every play.  Something is not adding up with da D players?   Go figure these young people anymore…  Cheers
