4-star WR Christian Hamilton announcing college decision July 1

Harrisburg (N.C.) Hickory Ridge four-star wide receiver Christian Hamilton will announce his college decision July 1.

Hamilton is the No. 182 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 is also the No. 5 player from the state of North Carolina.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $17.5k. 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 in-state North Carolina as the favorite for Hamilton at this moment with a 30.0% chance. Clemson is next at 15.2% followed by Texas A&M at 13.0%.

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.
