On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine: UCLA trending for 2024 QB Karson Gordon

UCLA is trending to land the commitment of Missouri City (Texas) Episcopal three-star quarterback Karson Gordon, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

Gordon decommitted from UNLV on Monday after initially pledging to the Rebels back in April.

On3 National Recruiting Analyst Sam Spiegelman logged an expert prediction before Gordon’s decommitment with a 60% confidence level that he would flip to UCLA. The Bruins now lead in the RPM for Gordon with a 98.8% chance of landing his commitment.

Gordon is the nation’s No. 1,551 overall prospect in the 2024 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 84 quarterback and No. 219 player in Texas.

The 6-foot-0, 175-pound Gordon does not currently have a publicly listed On3 NIL Valuation. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). 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.

UCLA looking to build on top-40 class

UCLA’s No. 39 class in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings consists of 12 committed recruits — three four-stars and nine three-stars.

West Hills (Calif.) Sierra Canyon four-star wide receiver Kwazi Gilmer ranks No. 208 nationally and headlines the Bruins’ class. Two additional four-star recruits are part of this group in Mission Viejo (Calif.) offensive tackle Mark Schroller and Tyler (Texas) athlete Derrick McFall.

Elsewhere on offense, UCLA has received commitments from Waunakee (Wis.) three-star tight end Rob Booker, Tacoma (Wash.) Mount Tahoma three-star offensive tackle Marquise Thorpe-Taylor, San Bernardino (Calif.) St. John Bosco three-star running back Cameron Jones, Chula Vista (Calif.) Eastlake three-star offensive tackle Joshua Glanz and Lehi (Utah) three-star offensive tackle Jensen Somerville.
