The 6-foot-2, 198-pound wideout holds 36 offers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, it is a close race between Notre Dame (47.4%) and Tennessee (40.2%) for his commitment.

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 Boilermakers have no commitments in their 2024 recruiting class. Meanwhile, Purdue’s 2023 class contains 13 pledges and ranks No. 66 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings, as well as No. 13 in the Big Ten.

Wingo has an On3 NIL Valuation of $123K. 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.

Ryan Wingo On3 Scouting Summary

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Ryan Wingo:

“An electric playmaker who picks up yards in a hurry. Ran a 10.64 100m, 21.46 200m and a 50.72 400m in 2022. The ability to defeat the angle with the ball in his hands is among the best in the 2024 cycle early on. Can take the top off of defenses with ease but is not just a straight line player.

“His ability to make defenders miss in tight spaces and finish runs is rare for someone with his long speed. Has a chance to be an impact player at the next level. Older brother is former Arkansas running back Ronnie Wingo.”
