Georgia NIL Roster Value: #1 Ranked Team, #4 Richest Roster

Georgia enters the week ranked #1 in the country. termiNIL's model ranks its roster #4: $48.03 million in modeled NIL value, behind Oregon, Texas and Ohio State. The two rankings measure different things, and the gap between them is the more interesting number than either total on its own.

Most "richest roster" lists stop at the headline figure and move on. The more useful questions for a roster this talented are where the money actually concentrates and how far on-field performance and NIL value have drifted apart.

How much is Georgia's NIL roster worth in 2026?

$48.03 million, as of October 6, 2026, spread across 126 scholarship players. That's the fourth-highest roster value of any of the 138 programs in termiNIL's model — 8.03% behind Oregon ($51.89M), 4.15% behind Texas ($50.02M), 3.32% behind Ohio State ($49.63M), and 1.06% ahead of Notre Dame ($47.53M).

Stockton is worth 3.31 times tenth-ranked Joseph Jonah-Ajonye, and his $5.10 million is more than triple the next-highest Bulldog, edge rusher Gabe Harris at $1.54 million. After Stockton, the roster's value spreads broadly: three defensive backs, two edge/tackle-area linemen and a linebacker all cluster between $1.0M and $1.2M, rather than stacking behind one or two stars.

Why is the #1 team only the #4 NIL roster?

Georgia's on-field ranking and its NIL valuation are built from different inputs. The College Football Playoff committee and the AP poll weigh wins, margin and schedule strength; termiNIL weighs performance grade, position premium and audience, repriced continuously as the season runs. A team can lead the country on the field while sitting behind three rosters that carry more total dollars — Georgia trails Oregon by 8.03% and Texas by 4.15%, both single-digit gaps that a few repricings could close or widen. The lesson isn't that Georgia is undervalued; it's that "best team" and "most expensive roster" are two different leaderboards that happen to overlap only partially.

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

Quarterback leads, as the national pattern would predict — 18.30% of roster value, ahead of wide receiver (16.02%) and edge rusher (13.76%).

That's actually the less common shape at the team level. Across termiNIL's full 15,066-player market, the median quarterback ($553K) is worth 3.5 times the median wide receiver ($158K) — yet nationally wide receiver still holds 6.22% more total dollars than quarterback ($640.59M vs $603.09M), because more than three times as many receivers get priced (2,113 vs 700). Georgia's roster doesn't follow that market-wide inversion: its quarterback share (18.30%) runs 14.22% higher than its wide receiver share (16.02%), carried almost entirely by one enormous number in Stockton.

How does Georgia compare to the rest of college football?

The average FBS roster is worth $23.63 million. Georgia's is worth 2.03 times that, and its $381K average per player is 1.76 times the $216K mean across the sport's 15,066 tracked players. Georgia's $48.03M also represents 1.47% of the entire $3.26B national NIL market on its own.

What isn't in this number?

termiNIL's plausibility audit holds eight Georgia valuations out of the ranked tables above — Isaiah Gibson, Talyn Taylor, Ryan Puglisi, Ekene Ogboko, Kaiden Prothro, Elyiss Williams, Jahzare Jackson and Dante Dowdell, several priced in seven figures at backup depth-chart spots without enough grade or snap data yet to support those numbers. All eight are excluded from the leaderboards until the model has more to work with, but their dollars are still counted in the $48.03M roster total — that figure, like every team total on termiNIL, includes every scholarship player regardless of ranking eligibility.

Georgia's full roster, position by position, is browsable in the termiNIL terminal. For how the Bulldogs stack up against the rest of the sport, see Ohio State's NIL roster value and how NIL valuations are calculated.
