As of Saturday afternoon, Duke football officially has two four-star commitments in the Class of 2025.

Bradley Gompers, a two-way star out of Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, officially earned a fourth star on the 247Sports Rankings.

A 6-foot-5 talent listed at both tight end and linebacker, he’s making an impression on both sides of the ball through the first three games of his senior year. According to MaxPreps, Gompers has caught eight passes for 283 yards and two touchdowns while also making 25 total tackles.

247Sports has Gompers listed as the No. 32 linebacker in its Class of 2025 rankings, and he’s risen inside the top 600 in the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

He joins Bryce Davis, the edge rusher who flipped from the Clemson Tigers, as the only four-star Duke commitments in the cycle.

2025 two-way star from Pittsburgh commits to Duke football

Bradley Gompers, a three-star prospect from Pittsburgh who plays on both sides of the ball, announced his commitment to the Blue Devils on Sunday.

Duke football added another member to the 2025 class on Sunday when Bradley Gompers announced his commitment to the program.

Gompers, who plays for Central Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a three-star prospect. He played linebacker, tight end, and strong safety for the Vikings last season.

An outstanding athlete, Gompers measures out at 6-foot-5 and 215 pounds. 247Sports ranks him as the 90th overall linebacker in the class, and he’s the 789th-ranked prospect in his year on the site’s Composite Rankings.

He also took recent visits with Rutgers and Michigan State before settling on Duke head coach [autotag]Manny Diaz[/autotag]. He also included Pittsburgh, Maryland, Northwestern, and West Virginia in his top seven at the end of May.

Gompers becomes the 15th commitment of the class for the Blue Devils. He’d be the first tight end in the 2025 cycle, but Diaz already landed three linebackers in the rest of the year. Cameron Smith, a Philadelphia linebacker, is Duke’s only four-star commit so far in 2025.

Bradley Gompers has his top seven, with Rutgers football making the cut in the Pennsylvania linebacker’s next step in his recruitment.

Rutgers offered Gompers in late February, marking what at the time was his fifth Power Five offer. He is a 6-foot-3, 200-pound linebacker from Central Catholic (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania).

Last fall, he capped off a season riddled with injuries in impressive fashion. In the WPIAL Championship, Gompers had 16 total tackles and a fumble recovery. Central Catholic finished the season 10-2.

His final seven now currently stands at Duke, Maryland, Michigan State, Northwestern, Pittsburgh, Rutgers and West Virginia.

The cutdown in his recruitment was announced via his social media on Thursday:

 

Rutgers football currently has eight recruits committed in the 2025 recruiting class. One of the first players to verbal in the class is four-star linebacker [autotag]Talibi Kaba[/autotag], a top-10 player in New Jersey in the class of 2025.
