On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine on Blaylock
The 5-foot-11, 175-pound running back holds 41 offers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, the in-state Texas A&M has the current lead to land a commitment from Blaylock at 32.6%. Texas comes in at second place at 17.3% odds.
RPM was released to the public in December 2021. 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.
Blaylock has an On3 NIL Valuation of $50K. 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.
