Yaites is the No. 257 overall prospect and No. 18 safety in the 2023 cycle, according to the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/consensus-player/football/2023/">On3 Consensus</a>, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 47 player in Texas. 



“LSU has always been ‘DBU’ and that energy and that part of the program, saying I’m a part of ‘DBU,’” Yaites <a href="https://www.on3.com/news/four-star-db-ryan-yaites-commits-to-lsu/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">told</a> On3’s Sam Spiegelman in April. “Every time I put on those gloves, I’m a part of LSU. I’m a ‘DBU’ defensive back.”



Yaites is one of four safeties in LSU’s <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/lsu-tigers/football/2023/industry-comparison-commits/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2023 recruiting class</a>. The Tigers’ group is currently No. 5 in the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/consensus-team/football/2023/">2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings</a> and <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/consensus-team/football/2023/?conference=sec" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">No. 3 in the SEC</a>. 



The Lone Star State native has an On3 NIL Valuation of <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/ryan-yaites-103927/nil/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$27K</a>. 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.
