2024 4-star WR Braylon Burnside names top eight schools

Starksville (Miss.) four-star wide receiver Braylon Burnside has named his top eight schools.

They are Akron, Florida State, Jackson State, Mississippi State, Memphis, Ole Miss, Oregon and South Carolina.

Burnside is the No. 161 overall recruit and No. 28 wide receiver 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 only two Mississippi recruits ranked ahead of him are Lake Cormorant (Miss.) four-star defensive lineman Kamarion Franklin and Meridian (Miss.) four-star athlete Daniel Hill.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $16.4k. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). 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 the Rebels as the heavy favorites to land Burnisde at this juncture.

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.
