NC State Running Back Hollywood Smothers could get $1 million in the Transfer Portal 🤯

On3’s Pete Nakos reported on Friday that the portal running back market will be in the range of $350k to $1M for the top prospects.

NC State’s Hollywood Smothers is currently the No. 1 running back in the portal and could see a million in NIL earnings.

The running back position is a risky spot to invest in with so much wear and tear and may not be the best way to spend with multiple examples from last year’s cycle.

Cal transfer Jaydn Ott (Oklahoma) and Tulane transfer Makhi Hughes (Oregon) are just two examples of top backs in last year’s portal cycle that made no impact this season.

Smothers is the best running back available according to On3’s rankings and is followed by Jacksonville State’s Cam Cook and Washington’s Adam Mohammed.

Would you pay $1 million for a portal running back?🤔
