Fort Collins (Co.) Rocky Mountain three-star offensive tackle Ethan Thomason announced his commitment date on Sunday night. He will be announcing his decision on Sept. 14.

The 6-foot-8, 301 pound prospect has a top five of BYU, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Stanford and Utah. He took official visits to the Cardinal, Cougars and Utes in consecutive weeks in June.

Thomason is the No. 826 overall prospect and No. 51 offensive tackle in the 2023 On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 5 player in Colorado.

On3 rates Thomason higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Even though he isn’t ranked in the 2023 On300, Thomason is the No. 49 offensive tackle and No. 4 player in Colorado.

According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, it is a close race for his commitment. BYU leads at 30%, while Utah isn’t far behind at 21.1%. Stanford has the third-best chance at 13.7%.

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.

Thomason has an On3 NIL Valuation of $8.9K. 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.
