Redshirt Freshman WR with 6'1" Frame and Emerging NIL Presence at Southern Illinois
Gage Green, a 6'1", 190-lb redshirt freshman wide receiver for the Southern Illinois Salukis, stands out for his ideal size-speed combination at the FCS level and a growing on-field presence that has already generated a $3.5K NIL midpoint value in the 2026 season. As a Du Quoin, IL native, Green brings local intensity and a workmanlike personality that coaches value, with no reported injury history limiting his development. His differentiator is his ability to stretch the field while maintaining reliability in contested catches, making him a high-upside fit for teams needing a physical, big-play WR who can evolve into a primary target. While still early in his college career, his active status and rapid NIL traction signal strong potential for immediate contribution.
