The 6-foot-2, 205-pound defender holds four offers. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Wisconsin is leading for his pledge at 53.2%. He has made four visits to the Badgers, most recently on Nov. 26.

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.

Pilof has an On3 NIL Valuation of $13.3K. 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.
