Vanderbilt’s group contains 15 prospects and is composed of one four-star, 12 three-stars and two unranked recruits. The Commodores’ highest-ranked-player is Rome (Ga.) four-star cornerback Martel Hight, the No. 336 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus. According to the Industry Comparison, On3 rates Hight higher than other recruiting services as the No. 223 overall prospect in the 2023 On300.

Carter has an On3 NIL Valuation of $5.8K. 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.
