The 6-foot-2, 190-pound recruit announced his top six schools on Jan. 7. They are Texas, Texas A&M, TCU, Oregon, USC and Auburn. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, the Ducks have a 98.5% chance to land 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.

Utah has two commitments in its 2024 recruiting class. They are Orange (Calif.) three-star running back Kobe Boykin and Phenix City (Ala.) Central defensive lineman Isaia Faga.

Williams has an On3 NIL Valuation of $54K. 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.
