As per sources, the estimated net worth of Derek Stingley Jr. is estimated to be $2 million. But the athlete has never confirmed his earnings and paycheck. Since, Derek is just a college football player, meaning that, the US has no policy of paying college athletes. But LSU covers all of his studying expenses.
Recently, a new rule was approved by NCAA allowing student-athletes to be paid according to their popularity and brand sports.
This has really given Derek an advantage since he has already partnered with various brands.
