USC offers 2024 4-star LB Brayden Platt

Yelm (Wash.) four-star linebacker Brayden Platt received an offer from USC on Wednesday. He announced the news on social media.

Platt is the No. 248 overall prospect and No. 23 linebacker in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 3 player in Washington.

The 6-foot-1, 220-pound prospect holds 15 offers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Oregon is leading for his commitment at 54%.

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 Trojans’ 2024 recruiting class currently contains two commits. They are Lake Oswego (Ore.) Lakeridge four-star tight end Joey Olsen and Houston (Texas) Long Beach Poly four-star wide receiver Jason Robinson.

Platt has an On3 NIL Valuation of $12.9K. 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.
