Elite 2024 LB Chris Cole announces commitment ceremony plans, way to watch
One of the highly anticipated commitment decisions for USC fans the last few weeks has been Salem (Va.) four-star linebacker Chris Cole. It was one month ago exactly he announced he would make his commitment decision on September 10. But after a post to X (formerly Twitter) today, we now have a time to look for and a way to watch!
The decision will still come between six schools. USC, Georgia, Miami, Penn State, Tennessee, and Virginia Tech will all be on the table.
His September 10 commitment will come at 6 PM ET, meaning 3 PM PT.
The commitment ceremony will be streamed on CBS Sports’ 247 Sports. You can also watch his Instagram live (@ _Chrisdatboii).
Chris Cole Recruiting Profile
On3’s Scouting and Rankings team writes this about him as a prospect:
“Big-framed, toolsy linebacker with some of the highest physical upside at the position in the 2024 cycle. Measured in at around 6-foot-3, 210 pounds prior to his senior season. Has a long, high-hipped build with a big frame and plus length for the position. Arms have measured at 33 inches and hand checks in at over 10 inches. Registers as a top athlete in the combine setting. Doubles as a good track athlete with some impressive marks in the 55-meter hurdles. Began his high school career as a safety before adding considerable mass and growing into a linebacker. Lines up at various spots in the back half for his high school – playing as a hang linebacker, a center field safety and creeping up to the edge.
… Experienced playing in space. Effectively uses his long arms to corral ball carriers. Lowers his shoulder and drives through his tackles. Flashes some striking power and pop on contact. Also shows solid instincts in coverage. Finished his senior season with 76 tackles and 11 tackles for loss. Also showed some encouraging coordination while playing receiver. A long-strider who can take a few steps to get up to speed. Will need to continue developing and adjusting to playing linebacker. May need time to adjust, but has considerable developmental upside.”
On3 NIL Valuation
Cole has an On3 NIL Valuation of $132K. 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.
