Plenty of the top names in the class of 2024 have announced their commitments, but five-star defensive lineman David Stone, who plays at IMG Academy, is still undecided. That will all change on August 26, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett, and Stone has narrowed down his options to a top six.
Florida, Miami, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Oregon and Texas A&M are all still on the table, but the Hurricanes have been described as the “family favorite,” and Oklahoma is his hometown team. The Sooners currently lead the On3 recruiting prediction machine with a 79.1% chance to land him, but the Gators are doing their best to get him to the Swamp.
“UF has a few of my teammates there right now,” Stone said, “Plus, Coach Chaos is my guy. He and Napier both are amazing people.”
Stone is a consensus five-star recruit, ranked anywhere from No. 6 to No. 13 overall in the country. ESPN is the highest on him, ranking Stone the sixth-best recruit in the 2024 class and the top overall defensive lineman.
The On3 industry ranking, which uses a weighted average of all four major services, has him at No. 7 nationally and No. 2 among defensive linemen in the class.
