According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, it is a very close race for Cox’s commitment. Fresno State currently has the lead at 30.8%, while Oregon State (26.9%) and Washington State (23.1%) are not far behind.
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.
The 6-foot-2, 180-pound defensive back has an On3 NIL Valuation of $6.1K. 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.
