Drake football NIL.
Drake is a Other program in the FCS football NIL market. High school recruits committed to Drake should run an estimate before signing day. Active 4-star football recruits have a $400,000 expected-NIL floor on TransferMetrics; 3-stars are priced on projection and the Other market. Current Drake football players use this to check whether a portal rumor or a collective number is actually above market for Other FCS.
Indicative FCS band: $2,000 – $80,000. Not a published Drake contract — a market range before you enter stats.

Other context for Drake
Drake is priced with other Other programs, not as a generic FCS tag. Neighboring schools in the same league can still pay differently by position — that's why school is a required field.

Position still dominates at Drake. These guides use national football ranges — your school is Other FCS.
Drake football FAQ
How much NIL do Drake football players make?
At the FCS / Other tier Drake plays in, typical football NIL bands run $2,000–$80,000. Starters and portal additions sit toward the top; depth sits toward the bottom. Run the calculator with your snaps for a file-specific number.
Does Drake pay Power 4 NIL?
No. Drake football is FCS (Other). Power 4 starter money does not automatically apply. The estimator uses division so a Drake offer isn't scored like Georgia or Ohio State.
Can I use this if I'm transferring to Drake?
Yes. Set school to Drake University, conference Other, division FCS. That's how we price inbound portal football — destination market, not the school you're leaving.
Do high school recruits committed to Drake get an NIL estimate?
Yes. Choose class year HS, enter recruiting stars, and pick Drake as the committed/projected school. Active 4-star and 5-star recruits have a $400k expected-NIL floor; everyone else is priced on projection plus the Other market.
