Alpharetta (Ga.) Milton four-star wide receiver Debron Gatling will announce his commitment on December 11.

Gatling had previously announced a top eight of Alabama, LSU, Miami, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Penn State, Tennessee and Texas A&M.

The 6-foot-2 wideout is the No. 306 overall recruit in the 2024 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 $33k. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). 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 On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine has the Crimson Tide as the current leaders at 24.3%.

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.
