247 Transfer Rankings (2025)

FAQs

What goes into 247 composite? ›

The Composite combines recruitment ratings from 247Sports' in-house ratings, Rivals.com, and ESPN in order to provide an overall rating for each recruit. The resulting rankings can be considered an industry consensus on the top recruits in the nation.

With that said, many view that the most useful and informative are the composite rankings that 247 sports put out. A five-star prospect is deemed to be amongst the top 30 players nationally, ones that are expected to immediately contribute as freshmen regardless of where they sign.

The composite score is usually created by adding all of the ratings together (i.e., the sum) or by taking the average (mean) of the ratings.

The 247Sports Composite Rating is a proprietary algorithm that compiles prospect "rankings" and "ratings" listed in the public domain by the major media recruiting services. It converts average industry ranks and ratings into a linear composite index capping at 1.0000, which indicates a consensus No.

Is 247 a Composite Number? Yes, since 247 has more than two factors i.e. 1, 13, 19, 247. In other words, 247 is a composite number because 247 has more than 2 factors.

Five-star recruits are up to their ears in scholarship offers. Since these athletes are covered closely by national media and have large social media followings, college programs will make as many as 430 scholarship offers a year to get free publicity.

Composite score is calculated by adding the weighted requirement score and weighted relative score. Overall composite rank is derived based on the composite score of response amount and requirements. Category managers can see both overall ranks - based on composite score and response amount.

As such, any composite score above the 50th percentile, or 19-20, can be considered a solid score. That said, a 20 won't cut it at many competitive colleges. This is why it's better to aim even higher, ideally for the top 25% — or a composite score of around 24.

Rankings are typically conducted by magazines, newspapers, websites, governments, or academics. In addition to ranking entire institutions, specific programs, departments, and schools can be ranked. Some rankings consider measures of wealth, excellence in research, selective admissions, and alumni success.

The commitments are ranked from highest to lowest based on their star rating. The scores are weighted, based on the rankings, according to a Gaussian distribution formula or a bell curve.
