Four-star EDGE Cameron Lenhardt announces top three

IMG Academy (Fla.) four-star EDGE Cameron Lenhardt is deciding between Michigan State, Penn State and Nebraska, he announced on social media Friday night.

The 6-foot-3, 230 pounder is the No. 252 overall prospect and the No. 34 EDGE in the 2023 On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Green has an 88.4% chance of landing with the Spartans. Penn State and Nebraska have much lower odds at 5.2% and 3.4%, respectively.

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.

Lenhardt, a native of Staten Island (N.Y.), has an On3 NIL Valuation of $18K. 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.
