Top-50 recruit Demarcus Riddick announces top schools
Clanton (Ala.) Chilton County School four-star linebacker Demarcus Riddick has named Florida State, Georgia, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Tennessee as his top five schools.
Riddick is the No. 65 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. The 2024 On300 ranking has him ranked even higher as the No. 43 prospect and No. 4 linebacker in the nation.
He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $69k. 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.
The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine has Georgia as the current favorite to land Riddick.
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.
