LOOK: Dan Lanning makes in-home visit to 4-star OT Spencer Fano
Provo (Utah) Timpview four-star offensive tackle Spencer Fano is announcing his commitment on Dec. 6. He previously revealed a top four of BYU, Michigan, Oregon and Utah.
The Ducks are clearly pushing hard for his pledge. This weekend, head coach Dan Lanning and offensive line coach Adrian Klemm made an in-home visit to Fano.
A 6-foot-4, 250-pound prospect, Fano is the No. 145 overall prospect and No. 11 offensive tackle 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 is also the No. 2 player in Utah.
On3 rates Fano higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Per the 2023 On300, he is the No. 1 player in Utah.
According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Oregon has a commanding lead to land Fano’s commitment at 84%. He took an official visit to Eugene on the weekend of Oct. 1.
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.
Fano has an On3 NIL Valuation of $110K. 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.
Spencer Fano On3 Scouting Summary
The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Spencer Fano:
“Light-footed, technical offensive tackle. Always under control and a menace in the running and passing game. Plays with violence and has exceptional balance. Athleticism stands out when working in open space as a puller and when climbing to the second level. Comfortable in pass protection. Quality kick slide and footwork to live on an island at either tackle spot. Lacks ideal overall mass and strength throughout his frame.
“One of the few top offensive linemen nationally who does not have verified size or length. Biggest question mark for how soon he can see the field will be his ability to put on good weight. Must add power in order to play with necessary functional strength. Has a high upside due to his movement skills but a low floor as well if he can not get his weight up.”
