Blue-chip EDGE recruit includes Florida football in top 6 schools

Four-star EDGE from the nation’s capital is feeling good about the Gators.

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%).

Georgia football offers 4-star Washington D.C. defensive lineman

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to Daniel ‘DD’ Holmes

The University of Georgia has offered a scholarship to Daniel “DD” Holmes, an elite defensive line recruit in the class of 2024.

Holmes is ranked as a four-star recruit. He plays high school football for Gonzaga High School and is the No. 3 recruit in the Washington D.C. area.

Holmes is the No. 245 recruit in the class of 2024. He is ranked the No. 26 defensive lineman in his class.

The 6-foot-6, 240-pound defensive end also plays basketball for Gonzaga High School. Daniel Holmes has excellent pursuit and effort. He chased down multiple wide receivers on screen passes in his high school tape. Holmes is sturdy against the run and attacks the football.

However, it is uncertain what position Holmes will play in college. He could fit as a 3-4 defensive end or as an outside linebacker in Georgia’s defensive scheme.

Holmes has recent scholarship offers from Florida, Minnesota, Syracuse and Oregon.

The four-star defensive lineman announced his scholarship offer from Georgia football outside linebackers coach Chidera Uzo-Diribe via Twitter:

Holmes tweeted about his offer from Rutgers football on Tuesday:

 

The Washington D.C. and Maryland area (affectionately known as the DMV for D.C., Maryland and Virginia) has traditionally been a strong recruiting area for Rutgers football. That area along with parts of Pennsylvania, New York as well as Connecticut, Delaware and of course New Jersey have made up the traditional map for the ‘State of Rutgers.’

The three current commits in the class of 2023 come from this recruiting turf (two players from New Jersey, one from southeastern Pennsylvania).
