The 6-foot-2, 200-pound wideout holds 23 offers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Texas A&M is leading for his commitment at 58.7%.

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.
