glen25+FollowIowa State’s top transfer lands $311K NIL dealMontreze Smith just set a new NIL benchmark for Iowa State football transfers, pulling in a $311,000 valuation. That’s a huge number for a program that’s not exactly swimming in cash compared to some of its rivals. Smith’s journey—jumping from Duke to Western Kentucky to Austin Peay, and now to the Cyclones—shows how much the transfer portal and NIL money are shaking up college football.
