NIL at UNLV Rebels
UNLV is a Group of Five program in the Mountain West, and its NIL situation follows that tier's economics. Revenue sharing under the 2025 House settlement is open to every Division I school, but the 20.5 million dollar first year cap is a maximum, and Mountain West programs typically commit far less, concentrated in football and basketball. No published valuations surfaced for Rebels players in a 2026 roster review, so figures here are modeled at a discount reflecting Group of Five markets. UNLV still has assets most peers lack: the Las Vegas market, new football relevance after recent winning seasons, and steady exposure from playing in a major event city with growing sports infrastructure.
How NIL value is calculated
An NIL value is an estimate of what an athlete could earn from name, image and likeness over 12 months, not a salary or a confirmed deal. We weigh audience (social reach and engagement), performance and role, school and market, and the sport and position. No exact NIL figure is publicly disclosed for Derek, so the value shown here is a modeled estimate. See how NIL valuations work.
