The 6-foot-1, 179-pound defensive back was previously committed to Georgia Tech and Massachusetts. According to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Jackson State is leading for his pledge at 46.3%.

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.

Sion currently holds 44 offers. Many of them are from Power Five programs, including LSU, Nebraska and Oregon.

The Florida native has an On3 NIL Valuation of $6.7K. 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.
