The summer months are just around the corner and the 2024 recruiting class is at the forefront of every school’s focus. With around 100 days remaining before the start of the 2023 schedule, coaching staffs are now balancing their responsibilities between the current student-athletes on the roster and potential future Gators who currently play at the high school level.
On Thursday morning, four-star edge defender Daniel “DD” Holmes out of Washington D.C. Gonzaga released his list of top six schools through On3’s Hayes Fawcett via Twitter. Along with Florida, the 6-foot-6-inch, 240-pound defender also included the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, Michigan Wolverines, Florida State Seminoles, South Carolina Gamecocks and Maryland Terrapins.
“Great football on the highest stage with great people!” Holmes told Fawcett in regards to the Gators.
Holmes is ranked No. 292 overall and No. 32 at his position nationally according to the 247Sports composite while the On3 industry ranking has him at Nos. 292 and 20, respectively. Despite the recent news, On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine has the Penn State Nittany Lions with a 29.7% chance of signing him, followed by FSU, (26.0%), Maryland (2.0%) and the Virginia Cavaliers (1.7%).
