This is the second time Sanders has offered Brantley Jr. as Jackson State offered him on March 31.

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine currently has UCF as the favorite to land a commitment from Brantley Jr. with the Knights sitting at 23% and just slightly ahead of South Alabama at 20% and NC State at 17%.

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.

Brantley Jr. currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $22K. 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.
