The 6-foot-2, 190-pound recruit has taken unofficial visits to three of his finalists. He saw the Ducks on Oct. 22, Longhorns on Sept. 10 and Aggies on June 16.

Oregon currently has a commanding lead to land Williams, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine. The Ducks’ chance is currently 98.9%.

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.

Williams has an On3 NIL Valuation of $69K. 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.
