Without salary details of his reported six-year contract, surmising Sumrall’s net worth is nigh-on impossible. His overall value to a football program, given the success he’s already achieved in his short head coaching career, likely surpasses that amount.
However, there are some publicly known details of Sumrall’s previous contracts that help build up a picture of his personal wealth accrued in his time as both a head coach and coordinator.
When Sumrall was in his last year as defensive coordinator of Kentucky, he made $675,000, below average for an SEC coordinator.

Once he moved to Troy, though, he took a pay increase that included up to $375,000 in potential bonuses. Those bonuses were not specified publicly, but it’s assumed that he received a large portion of that for a 12-2 debut season that included a conference championship and Cure Bowl win over UTSA.
The bonuses mentioned above were largely unchanged in the contract extension received in March 2023. In that campaign, Troy went 11-2, repeating as Sun Belt champions. Although he left before the Birmingham Bowl against Duke, Sumrall will have earned a substantial chunk of his potential bonuses.
With his salary set to be significantly more at Tulane than it was with Troy, Sumrall will receive a sizeable boost to his net worth for the 2024 season onwards — especially if he continues the winning ways the Green Wave have enjoyed in recent seasons.
