The 6-foot-5, 230-pound prospect has received 18 offers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Penn State is leading for his commitment at 53%.

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.

The Ducks currently have no commitments in their 2025 recruiting class. Meanwhile Oregon’s 2023 class is No. 11 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 1 in the Pac-12. 

Mathis has an On3 NIL Valuation of $68K. 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.
