Jacksonville (Fla.) Andrew Jackson four-star linebacker Grayson Howard is down to five schools but one has taken a major lead in his recruitment. Included in his top five schools are: Clemson, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Texas A&M.

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine has South Carolina as the heavy favorite to land Howard at 82.9%. No other team that made his top five — Clemson, Florida, Georgia and Texas A&M — has a percentage over 6%.

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 most recent expert prediction for Howard came from Corey Bender of Gators Online, who has entered a prediction with 70% confidence to South Carolina.

Howard is the No. 247 overall recruit 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 the No. 130 overall recruit and No. 7 linebacker in the 2023 On300 ranking.

Howard currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $16k. 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.
