It factors in machine learning, social sentiment, visits and historical trends. However, expert predictions are still a big piece of the RPM equation.

The Commodores have no commitments in their 2024 recruiting class. Meanwhile, Vanderbilt’s 2023 class is No. 54 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No 14 in the SEC.

Jacob has an On3 NIL Valuation of $16.2K. 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.
