Michigan remains in Top 5 on 2024 On3 Industry national team recruiting rankings

Michigan has jumped to No. 4 overall in the 2024 On3 Industry National Team Recruiting Rankings following the verbal commitment of On300 Kansas (Mo.) Rockhurst offensive tackle Andrew Sprague on Friday.

Sprague is ranked as the No. 135 overall prospect in the country, No. 9 offensive tackle nationally, and No. 4 junior in the state of Missouri, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. 

Sprague has an On3 NIL Valuation of 95K with 4,800 combined followers on Instagram and Twitter. 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.
