Michigan continues to make big waves in the 2024 recruiting world. The Wolverines have been named finalists for several big named players in the recent weeks, and big-time recruits will be taking official visits to Michigan in the month of June.
On Wednesday, Michigan became a finalist for another prospect. Daniel ‘DD’ Holmes announced the Wolverines are in his final six teams that he would be focusing on. Holmes has said he hopes to make a decision before his senior season begins.
Florida State, Maryland, South Carolina, Florida, and Rutgers rounded out the six.
The Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga edge defender stands at 6-foot-6 and weighs 240-pounds.

Looking at the 247Sports Composite, Holmes is the 279th-ranked recruit in 2024 and the second-ranked prospect in the D.C. area.
Holmes talked about each of his top schools to Chad Simmons with On3. He told Simmons that Michigan was in on him early, but talks slowed down. Now Michigan has re-entered the conversation and things are going great again.
“Things have really picked back up with Michigan. They were on me heavy on early, then it slowed down some and they have come back in recently. Over the last month, Michigan has jumped back in with fire. They got me and my mom on a Zoom call to inform us about academics and that was big. Michigan is a big brand of football too. Coach Mike Elston has been talking to me a lot.”
There is no true intel on which team may be leading for Holmes. There are zero Crystal Ball predictions in on Holmes by 247Sports and if you look at the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, Penn State leads with a 29.7% chance — and PSU didn’t make his final six.
More information will likely come once Holmes takes all of his official visits this summer to each of the schools.
