According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, the Nittany Lions have a commanding lead for Harvey’s commitment at 97.6%. He has visited State College four times, most recently on Oct. 22.

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.

A 6-foot-1.5, 225-pound pass rusher, Harvey has an On3 NIL Valuation of $14.2K. 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.
