Elite 4-star 2025 S Faheem Delane puts Oregon among top schools

The Oregon Ducks landed among the top schools for Faheem Delane, a 4-star safety in the class of 2025.

His recruitment is still in the very early days, but the Oregon Ducks are making a strong impression on one of the top players in the class of 2025.

4-star safety Faheem Delane recently listed his top 11 schools, including the Ducks in the mix with the likes of Alabama, Ohio State, USC, and LSU. Delane is rated by On3 as the No. 4 safety in the 2025 class, and the No. 1 overall player in the state of Maryland. He is also rated as the No. 46 player in the nation.

Delane received his offer from Oregon earlier this year and has yet to visit Eugene, but that will likely change in the coming months or year as the 2025 prospect starts getting out across the country more to check out what’s available to him.

Penn State makes top schools cut for four-star 2025 safety

Penn State is considered the early favorite for this four-star safety in 2025

The football recruiting cycle for 2025 is still a year away from taking the spotlight, but Penn State is hard at work on staying competitive for some of the nation’s top players in the Class of 2025. One of the top safeties in the recruiting class has Penn State among the top schools under consideration as his recruiting process begins to really take off.

[autotag]Faheem Delane[/autotag], a four-star safety from Maryland, revealed his top 11 schools on his Twitter account on Friday. Penn State was one of three current Big Ten schools and four Big Ten schools by the time he is set to sign his letter of intent with Ohio State, Maryland, and USC were all in the mix as well.

Delane is rated as a four-star player by On3 and Rivals. Penn State is also considered the favorite right now for Delane according to the On3 recruiting prediction machine. According to the On3 computers, Penn State has a 41.7% chance of securing the commitment from Delane. Delane has said previously he could commit as early this summer depending on how he is feeling about his recruiting process.

Other schools in Delane’s top 11 included South Carolina, Virginia Tech, Florida, Alabama, Florida State, Oregon, and LSU.

One thing that stands out about Penn State to Delane is Penn State’s track record of developing defensive backs for the next level. [autotag]Joey Porter Jr.[/autotag] is set to be a first-round draft pick in the 2023 NFL draft, and [autotag]Tariq Castro-Fields[/autotag] was a draft pick in 2022. Penn State has also developed other defensive secondary players for the next level in recent years like [autotag]Jaquan Brisker[/autotag] and [autotag]Ji’Ayir Brown[/autotag].

This class of 2025 safety is visiting the Swamp in March

The Gators are getting one of the top safeties in the class of 2025 on campus this spring for his first trip to the Swamp.

The Florida Gators offered four-star Good Counsel (Olney, Maryland) safety [autotag]Faheem Delane [/autotag] back in January, and now he’s locked in a March visit with the team.

Gators Online initially reported that Delane had plans to visit Florida in the “first weekend of March,” at the beginning of the month. Almost two weeks later, 247Sports confirmed that report with a more firm March 4 date.

This will be Delane’s first trip to the Swamp, but he’s been in touch with outside linebackers coach [autotag]Mike Peterson[/autotag] for a while now. Delane is looking forward to meeting him in person and getting to meet more of the staff.

Plenty of Power Five programs are pursuing Delane. Alabama, FSU, LSU, Ohio State and Miami are just a few names that have offered him a scholarship so far. As an elite member of the class of 2025, he’s likely to pick up a few more over the next two years.

It’s good for Florida to get started on Delane early, and a visit should give him a better idea of whether UF is the right fit for him or not. He already emulates former Gator [autotag]CJ Gardner-Johnson[/autotag] on the field, which is a good sign for Florida.

Delane is not yet ranked by 247Sports, but On3 and Rivals have him listed as a four-star recruit. He’s currently No. 18 overall on the On3 consensus and is No. 3 among safeties in the class of 2025.
