    As the best college wrestler on the planet, it is unsurprising that Penn State Wrestling star Carter Starocci is probably making big bucks in NIL money. However, the four-time champion recently suggested he may make even more than some recent estimates.

    Penn State Wrestling is the cream of the NCAA crop. The school has won three of the last four college wrestling championships and 174-pound star Carter Starocci has played a huge role in that success. The 23-year-old has won four straight individual championships and is planning to go for a record fifth this season.

    For players like him, the benefits of new NCAA name, image, and likeness guidelines are massive. While there are quite a few collegiate football and basketball players making millions from NIL deals, Starocci is one of the outliers on the wrestling side of college athletics. And earlier this week a little-known X account claimed to know how much he is earning in 2024-25.

    Is Penn State Wrestling star Carter Starocci earning well over $1.3 million in NIL money next season?

    In a post this week, Pursuit Wrestling – Ohio claimed Carter Starroci would make $1.3 million from NIL deals this upcoming season. Later that day, the post made its way to the Penn State Wrestling star, and he had an interesting response in a repost of the story.

    “Don’t speak about my pockets. Yall don’t know the half of it 😉 💰,” Starocci wrote.

    That wink and the money bag emoji sure seem to suggest that an estimate of $1.3 million is below what he will actually rake in next season. If the Nittany Lions star can win a fifth individual title he will be the first in NCAA DI history to do so.
