2024 top-100 IOL DeAndre Carter visiting Penn State

Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei four-star interior offensive lineman DeAndre Carter spent Saturday on an unofficial visit to Penn State. He shared a photo from the trip after it concluded.

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.

The 6-foot-4, 330-pound recruit holds 27 offers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, USC is leading for his commitment at 55.8%. 

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 Nittany Lions currently have two commitments in their 2024 recruiting class. They are Erie (Penn) McDowell four-star interior offensive lineman Cooper Cousins and Pittsburgh (Penn.) Central Catholic four-star linebacker Anthony Speca.

Carter has an On3 NIL Valuation of $52K. 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.
