Off the field, Kansas State QB Avery Johnson’s $1.6 million NIL valuation reflects his status as a face of college football. Previously, he bought a custom lavender Corvette in 2024, but with his rising net worth, the young QB decided to upgrade and gifted himself with a brand new Mercedes AMG.

Long McArthur Ford’s Instagram post featured the new car and his owner with a caption saying, “From Lavender to Legendary. Avery Johnson is known for his speed, and now his ride matches it! Mercedes AMG – the ultimate upgrade. More power. More luxury. More game.”
Johnson doesn’t only buy cars with his wealth. Using his financial capabilities, Johnson has launched a youth training camp for kids aged 6-17, set for launch on June 25, making his contribution to the Kansas State and Manhattan, Kansas, community.
Avery Johnson’s Journey Thus Far
Avery Johnson’s journey began at Maize High School in Wichita, Kansas, where he honed his craft alongside new Kansas State wide receiver Justin Stephens. Their chemistry, which got stronger throughout their high school years, shows a lot of promise for polishing the Wildcats’ passing game.
With veteran receivers like Caleb Medford and Jaron Tibbs joining the roster, Kansas State’s offense is looking better than ever.
Last season, Johnson threw for 2,712 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions while rushing for 605 yards and seven scores. His dual-threat prowess places him among only two Power Four quarterbacks with at least 2,500 passing and 525 rushing yards in 2024.
