The renowned USC Trojans’ quarterbacks—Jayden Maiava and Husan Longstreet—seem to be getting a lot of fame and NIL deals in 2025. The QBs are mostly hiked with a lot of money during NIL deals, and USC’s players are getting coached by Lincoln Riley.
USC Quarterbacks’ NIL Deals and Future
According to a report by On3, Maiava’s NIL value comes to around $604,000, while Longstreet, a top five-star recruit, gets an even higher value of up to $897,000.
USC has a long history of great quarterbacks that have included Heisman Trophy winners like Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart, and Caleb Williams.
Playing quarterback at USC has always been considered a high-profile position, and now Maiava and Longstreet are also part of that tradition.
Maiava has been playing since the 2024 season as a backup to Miller Moss, but then he took over as the starting quarterback for the last four games, successfully winning three of them.
This definitely created hype for USC’s 2025 season.
After USC successfully defeated Texas A&M in the Las Vegas Bowl, Maiava revised his NIL representation from NILX to Athletes First.
Some fans assumed that he would take a transfer, but it seems to be just an assumption, and he is happily staying with USC for now.
