On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine: South Carolina trending for Reid Mikeska

Cypress (Texas) Bridgeland three-star tight end Reid Mikeska has been committed to Miami since June, but a new team is trending to land him in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM) less than 24 hours until National Signing Day.

After expert picks from On3 national recruiting analyst Sam Spiegelman and GamecockCentral.com insider Wes Mitchell, South Carolina is now favored to flip Mikeska from the Hurricanes. The RPM gives the Gamecocks an 80.5 percent chance of completing the flip.

The 6-foot-6, 230-pounder committed to the Hurricanes on June 19 after previously being committed to Clemson. But South Carolina has stayed involved with him after missing out both times previously.

He is the No. 1105 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. Mikeska ranks as the nation’s No. 58 tight end and the No. 195 recruit in the state of Texas.

On3 is higher on him than other recruiting services, as shown in the Industry Comparison. He isn’t ranked among the top-300 prospects in the class, but checks in as the country’s No. 35 tight end and No. 152 player in the Lone Star State.
