4-star EDGE Dylan Gooden committing August 9

Olney (Md.) Good Council four-star EDGE Dylan Gooden will be announcing his college commitment Aug. 9.

Gooden is the No. 239 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 $16.3k. 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.

Announcing my commitment August 9th.

“The nearly 6-foot-5 EDGE prospect has a frame full of room for growth with high-end agility,” On3 National Recruiting Analyst Gerry Hamilton said. “Gooden has reactive quickness with the foot quickness to instantly change direction and pursue the ball. While he has to add bulk weight and a lot of strength, he plays with physicality.”

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine has Rutgers as the current leader at 32.8%, followed by Penn State and West Virginia.

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.
