According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, it is a close race for Johnson’s commitment. Texas Tech has the highest odds at 56%, while Baylor isn’t far behind at 37%.

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.

Johnson has taken two official visits in his recruiting process. His first was to Baylor on June 10. He then traveled to Texas Tech on June 24.
