Lynden (Wash.) Lynden Christian School athlete Kade Eldridge has named Michigan, Oregon, USC, Washington and Washington State as his top five schools.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $5.6k. 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.

Eldridge is currently unranked in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. The Industry Comparison Tool does show he is ranked as a three-star recruit by 247 Sports and Rivals.

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine shows the Trojans have the advantage at this moment with a 67.5% chance of landing Eldridge.

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