Gadson is the No. 707 overall prospect and No. 79 defensive lineman in the 2023 On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also ranks as the No. 62 player in Georgia.

According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, the Seminoles have the highest chance to land Gadson at 35.8%. The Golden Gophers have the next-highest odds at 19%. Regarding the rest of his finalists, Georgia and Kentucky’s odds are at 9.2% and Tennessee’s chance is 4.8%.

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.

Gadson, a 6-foot-5, 265 pound prospect, took two official visits last month. They were to Minnesota and Florida State on June 10 and June 24, respectively. He has also taken multiple unofficial visits to Georgia and Kentucky and one to Tennessee.
