Auburn offers 2024 top-100 IOL DeAndre Carter

Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei four-star interior offensive lineman DeAndre Carter received an offer from Auburn on Thursday night. He announced the news over social media.

Carter is the No. 76 overall prospect and No. 4 interior offensive lineman 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. He is also the No. 8 player in California.

Blessed to say I have received an offer from Auburn University. I would like to thank the Coaches at Auburn, Coach Rollo, my Mater Dei Coaches, and Coach Burns. @CoachThornton61 @AuburnFootball @GregBiggins @adamgorney @ChadSimmons_ @MDFootball pic.twitter.com/84X4DgFbLq

The 6-foot-4, 330-pound recruit holds 26 offers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, USC is leading for his commitment at 61.4%.

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.

Meanwhile, Auburn’s 2024 recruiting class currently has two commitments. They are Miami Mater Academy Charter four-star quarterback Adrian Posse and Alabaster (Ala.) Moody School four-star cornerback A’Mon Lane.

Carter has an On3 NIL Valuation of $59K. 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.
