On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine: TCU trending for Randon Fontenette

Freeport (Texas) Brazosport four-star safety Randon Fontenette announced his decommitment from Utah on November 3.

Since then, TCU has been a heavy favorite to land Fontenette, and the Horned Frogs seem to be the runaway favorite to get a commitment from him, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound prospect most recently picked up an offer from USC on November 23, but TCU holds a 95% chance to land his commitment according to the RPM.

Inside Texas recruiting analyst Gerry Hamilton put in a prediction for TCU on Fontenette with a 90% confidence level on Wednesday.

Fontenette is the No. 380 overall prospect and the No. 35 safety for the 2023 class according in the 2023 On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 65 player in Texas.

According to the Industry Comparison though, On3 is much higher on Fontenette than other recruiting services. In the most recent On300 rankings, he was tabbed as the country’s No. 155 overall prospect, No. 12 safety and No. 30 player in Texas.

Fontenette currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $17.6k. 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.
