4-star RB Parker Jenkins committing Aug. 6

Houston Klein Forest four-star running back Parker Jenkins will be announcing his commitment Saturday. He is down to Boston College, Houston, LSU, Northwestern, Oklahoma State and SMU.

The On3 Consensus — a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies — has Jenkins as the No. 360 overall prospect and No. 25 running back in the 2023 cycle.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $6.4k. 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.

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine has LSU as the heavy favorite for Jenkins at 83.0%.

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.
