Belle Vernon (Penn.) four-star athlete Quinton Martin is one of the top 20 prospects in the 2024 class. He showcased why on Friday night.

Martin recorded a punt deep in his own red zone and on the left side of the field. He quickly cut to his left, eventually reaching the opposite sideline. The four-star then raced down the field untouched for a 95-yard punt return touchdown.

The 6-foot-1.5, 185 pound prospect is the No. 18 overall prospect and No. 3 athlete 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.

On3 rates Martin higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Per the 2024 On300, he is the No. 2 athlete in the country.

According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Penn State is leading for Martin’s commitment at 49.7%. He has visited the Nittany Lions seven times, most recently on July 30.

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.

Martin has an On3 NIL Valuation of $136K. 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.
