Chloe Humphrey Sets the Standard for Lacrosse Brand Partnerships
Chloe Humphrey is not just rewriting record books at North Carolina. She is redefining what elite marketability looks like in women’s lacrosse. As one of the most accomplished freshmen the sport has ever seen, Humphrey’s on field dominance is directly translating into meaningful brand value, positioning her as the most marketable lacrosse athlete in the country.
With performance driving attention and engagement driving opportunity, Humphrey represents the clearest example of how elite production fuels athlete brand partnerships in the modern NIL era.
On Field Excellence Driving National Attention
Humphrey’s freshman season at UNC was historic in every sense. She finished the year with 90 goals and 28 assists, totaling 118 points while leading the Tar Heels to a national championship. Those 90 goals set both the NCAA freshman record and UNC single season record, immediately placing her among the most productive offensive players in the history of the sport.
She delivered in the biggest moments throughout the postseason, earning NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player honors while producing clutch performances against top ranked opponents including Northwestern, Notre Dame, Boston College, and Florida. Her consistency against elite competition established her as a must watch athlete on the national stage.
That level of production created more than wins. It created sustained attention.
A Rapidly Growing Digital Audience
Humphrey’s dominance has translated seamlessly to social media. She currently carries 48k Instagram followers and 37.2k TikTok followers, supported by a strong overall engagement rate of 14.89%. Her audience skews young and highly engaged, with a majority of followers falling in the 18 to 34 age range and a fanbase that is 71% female.
Her content performs exceptionally well across sponsored posts and organic moments, showing that fans are not just following her success but actively interacting with it.
Brand Performance That Separates Her From the Field
What truly sets Humphrey apart is how consistently she delivers for brand partners. According to campaign performance data, her sponsored content outperforms industry benchmarks across every major metric.
Her partnership with STX generated 117k reel views with a 48.4% engagement rate. DripDrop content reached 130k reel views while maintaining a 17.3% engagement rate. Ralph Lauren posts averaged 9.3k likes with a remarkable 102% engagement rate, while siggi’s content delivered 4k likes and a 43.3% engagement rate.
These numbers illustrate a rare combination of reach and resonance. Brands are not just gaining impressions. They are earning meaningful interaction.
Why Brands Are Investing in Chloe Humphrey
According to the Out2Win Athlete Intelligence Platform, Humphrey’s profile checks every box brands prioritize. She combines elite performance, national visibility, consistent posting quality, and an audience that responds authentically to sponsored content.
Her success is not built on hype alone. It is built on trust. Fans engage because her partnerships feel natural, aligned, and earned through performance rather than promotion.
That authenticity is why she continues to attract high value athlete brand partnerships while setting a new standard for how women’s lacrosse athletes monetize their platforms.
The Blueprint for NIL Success in Lacrosse
Chloe Humphrey represents the future of NIL in non traditional revenue sports. Her rise shows that when elite performance meets the right platform and the right partners, the ceiling is far higher than previously believed.
As brands continue to search for athletes who deliver both impact and influence, Humphrey stands alone at the top of the lacrosse landscape. Her freshman season laid the foundation. Her marketability is just getting started.
