Ryan Wingo has become one of the most talked-about recruits for the Texas Longhorns this offseason. After flashing his potential last year with 29 catches for 472 yards and two touchdowns, along with five carries for 100 yards, he is poised to take an even bigger leap in 2025.
How Much Is Ryan Wingo’s NIL Worth?
Football runs deep in Wingo’s family. His older brother Ronnie suited up for the Arkansas Razorbacks from 2009 to 2012 before making his way to the NFL with the Buffalo Bills. Another brother, Ray, played college football for the Missouri Tigers from 2014 to 2017. Now, it is Wingo’s turn to carry on the family tradition with the Longhorns.
Despite his first year in college football, Wingo has managed to land some great NIL deals for himself. He’s even built a brand image outside the field with over 40k followers across Instagram (28K), X (9.8K), and TikTok (1.8K).
In January 2024, Wingo secured a major NIL deal with Vanguard Volkswagen in Austin, kicking off a wave of endorsement opportunities. As his profile continued to rise, brands took notice, and the offers kept rolling in. Just a month later, he partnered with the Bullock Museum in Austin, another Texas-based collaboration added to his growing portfolio.
That same month, Dell Medical Center came calling with another deal, further cementing his presence in the local scene. Three days later, Wingo was a special guest at the Austin Marathon, where he not only attended the event but also promoted the race across his social media platforms.
The story doesn’t end there, as he also joined the creative community ArcAustin in March 2024. So, right after his entrance into the Longhorns, he received many local NIL deals, and soon, the wide receiver is expected to land a deal with some big names as well.
As per On3, his current NIL valuation stands at $1.5 million.
Ryan Wingo’s Net Worth
As Wingo heads into his sophomore season with the Longhorns, expectations are soaring. The standout wide receiver put up dominant numbers at St. Louis University High School in Missouri, hauling in 129 catches for 2,160 yards and 31 touchdowns.
So, he’s been delivering great performance even before he committed to Texas in 2024. Moreover, he also received a green flag from the former Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers.
“Well, I think you got a little glimpse of it [last season],” Ewers told 247Sports. “I think Ryan Wingo is going to be a really good player for the Horns. And I’m excited to see how he continues on his journey because y’all saw how good he was as a freshman.”

“And he’s only going to continue on to get better as a sophomore and then a junior. And if he comes out as a junior, great. But if he comes back as a senior, it’s going to be real dangerous for everybody.”
Wingo’s exact net worth remains undisclosed, but with an NIL valuation of $1.5 million, he is already among the most marketable young athletes. If he delivers a breakout season in 2025, that number could climb even higher.
