The On3 Consensus — a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies — has Upshaw as the No. 972 overall prospect and No. 86 safety in the 2023 cycle.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $9.3k. 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.

The 2023 Gamecocks recruiting class now has 13 commits and ranks 24th in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Ranking.
