On3 Recruiting Prediction Machines has Florida as favorite for A.J. Harris

It appears that Phenix City (Ala.) Central four-star cornerback A.J. Harris is having a great time visiting Florida this weekend.

So much so that the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine now has the Gators as the favorite in Harris’ recruitment at 60%.

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, expert predictions, social sentiment, visits, and historical trends. However, expert predictions are still a big piece of the RPM equation.

GatorsOnline’s Corey Bender put in a prediction Saturday afternoon for Florida with 70% confidence.

Harris is the No. 29 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

The only two cornerbacks ranked ahead of him in the class are Lakeland (Fla.) Lake Gibson Five-Star Plus+ cornerback Cormani McClain and Florence (Ala.) five-star cornerback Jahlil Hurley.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $27k. 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.

Sharpsburg (Ga.) Trinity Christian School four-star athlete Aaron Gates is the lone commit in the Florida recruiting class at the moment.
