The 6-foot-3, 190-pound defender holds 13 offers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Oklahoma is leading for his commitment at 55.8%.

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.

Iowa has five commitments in its 2024 recruiting class. The group is led by Winthrop (Iowa) East Buchanan four-star interior offensive lineman Cody Fox.

Meanwhile, UCF has one commitment in its 2024 recruiting class. Maitland (Fla.) Orangewood Christian School three-star defensive lineman Sincere Edwards chose the Knights on Aug. 10.

Woodaz has an On3 NIL Valuation of $6K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). 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.
