3-star LB Corey Lucius Jr. announces top five schools

Tampa (Fla.) Tampa Catholic three-star linebacker Corey Lucius Jr. has named Boston College, Kansas State, Penn State, USF and West Virginia as his top five schools.

He will announce his commitment Aug. 11.

Lucius is the No. 877 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $5.9k. 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.]

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine has the Nittany Lions as the favorite in Lucius’ recruitment.

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.
