Decatur (Texas) four-star running back Nathaniel Palmer received an offer from Georgia Tech on Wednesday. He announced the news over social media.

Palmer is the No. 351 overall prospect and No. 35 running back in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 58 player in Texas.

On3 rates Palmer higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Per the 2024 On300, he is the No. 232 overall prospect, No. 20 running back and No. 45 player in Texas.

The 5-foot-10.5, 180-pound tailback holds 25 offers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Oklahoma (25.8%), Oklahoma State (22.6%) and USC (19.4%) are leading for his commitment.

RPM was released to the public in December. The On3 engineering group teamed up with Spiny.ai to create the industry’s first algorithm and machine learning-based product to predict where athletes will attend college. 

It factors in machine learning, social sentiment, visits and historical trends. However, expert predictions are still a big piece of the RPM equation.

Georgia Tech currently has one commit in their 2024 recruiting class. Macon (Ga.) First Presbyterian Day School four-star quarterback Jakhari Williams, the No. 117 overall prospect in the On300, chose the Yellow Jackets on Nov. 21.

Meanwhile, Georgia Tech’s 2023 class contains 21 commits. It ranks No. 63 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 12 in the ACC.

Palmer has an On3 NIL Valuation of $6.5K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
