The 6-foot-1.5, 225-pound pass rusher announced his top 11 schools, which the Nittany Lions were included in, last month. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Penn State has a commanding lead for Harvey’s commitment at 97.6%.

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.

Harvey has an On3 NIL Valuation of $14.3K. 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.
