Industry Comparison: Recruits On3 ranks highest

As part of its one-of-kind database, On3 has the unique ability to compare recruiting rankings across the four major sites in the industry: On3, 247Sports, ESPN and Rivals. The Industry Comparison tool makes that possible in an easy-to-read and visual manner and saves fans, recruits and anyone interested in weighing where a given recruit stands from having to search each site.

The On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, creates an average of those to provide the best snapshot of where a recruit projects according to the industry. But On3’s own rankings differ from other sites regarding individual players — sometimes vastly. The 2023 cycle, the first full recruiting year since On3’s inception, is a prime example of that.

Below are the top 15 prospects that On3’s national rankings team is higher on than the other recruiting networks using the Industry Comparison.
