How much is Cutter Boley worth in NIL? Exploring the valuation of Kentucky's 5-Star recruit

Cutter Boley, a four-star quarterback from Lexington Christian Academy, is staying in Lexington. He announced on Thursday his commitment to the Kentucky Wildcats.

A lifelong Wildcats fan, this move was a no-brainer for the young quarterback. The 6-foot-5 standout chose UK over Tennessee, Florida State, Michigan and Penn State.

Along with his commitment, he announced reclassification from the 2025 class to the 2024 class. The move will allow him to enroll in college in January and allow him to develop in spring practice.

Among the 2025 class, Boley was ranked No. 6 for quarterbacks and No. 72 overall.

With the new rules applicable from the 2022 season, athletes are able to monetize their participation in collegiate sports. Despite having just changed his plans to reclassify to the 2024 class, Boley already has an NIL value.

At a valuation of $267,000, Cutter Boley has got quite some dollars to his name. This number saw decent growth after his commitment. Although it's too early for him to be linked with brands, it won’t be long until the much sought-after teenager finds himself among these conversations.

With an overall digital community of almost 11,000 followers, Boley is still in the nascent stage of gaining fame. If he meets his projected potential on the field, this would definitely be a great time for brands to put their money on the teenager.
