Converse (Texas) Judson four-star defensive lineman Johnny Bowens will be making a visit this weekend to Oklahoma.

Bowens is the No. 267 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $10.3k. 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.

The Sooners have the seventh-ranked class in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Ranking. Denton (Texas) Guyer five-star quarterback Jackson Arnold and Kansas City (Kan.) North Kansas City five-star EDGE Adepoju Adebawore headline the class.

Johnny Bowens was previously committed to Texas A&M

Johnny Bowens was previously committed to Texas A&M before backing away from that pledge in June.

But the Aggies and Bowens have kept up the communication. As a result, Texas A&M is the heavy favorite to land Bowens, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

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.
