The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine currently has Notre Dame as the heavy favorite to land a commitment from Young at 99%.

Young currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $6.1K. 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.
