The Washington Huskies' 2026 football roster carries a staggering valuation of $28.4 million, placing the team fifth among Big Ten programs in terms of overall worth.
That figure comes from an assessment by the College Front Office, which factors in both revenue‑share agreements and the growing landscape of name, image and likeness deals.
Star Power and Conference Rankings
Junior quarterback Demond Williams Jr. leads the Huskies' financial chart with a $4.5 million valuation, making him the second‑highest‑valued signal‑caller in the conference behind Oregon’s Dante Moore.
Three Huskies crack the seven‑figure barrier: Williams, along with seniors Jacob Lane and Isaiah Ward, each command six‑figure contracts in the NIL market.
How the Money Is Distributed
The valuation reflects a split of $21.2 million for retained scholarship players, $5.1 million for newcomers arriving via the transfer portal, and $2.1 million earmarked for the incoming freshman class.
Among the returning veterans, senior right tackle Drew Azzopardi stands out with a $926,267 valuation.
Freshman offensive tackle Kodi Greene has already earned the highest rookie valuation at $724,500, underscoring the early impact of the 2026 class.
These numbers illustrate how NIL agreements and conference realignment are reshaping the economics of college football, turning roster construction into a financial calculus as much as a strategic one.
