The On3 Consensus — a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies — has Gallagher as the No. 106 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $227k. 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.

His top eight schools are Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Penn State, Pitt, Texas, Virginia Tech and West Virginia

The Mountaineers are the heavy favorites to land Gallagher, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, which gives West Virginia a 91.7% chance.

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, expert predictions, social sentiment, visits, and historical trends. However, expert predictions are still a big piece of the RPM equation.
