Darius Hamilton Recruiting Update: Announcement Set For Tuesday Night
Darius Hamilton will announce Tuesday night.
The defensive end plays for New Jersey’s Don Bosco Prep. Son of former NFLer Keith Hamilton, Darius is 6’4” and 250 pounds. He shows great promise against the run, but can also rush the passer. Hamilton’s skills against the run likely come from him playing a good bit of defensive tackle in high school. He’s clearly been coached up, and uses his hands well for a prospect of his age. The four major recruiting services award Hamilton five stars as a rating.
Rutgers was once considered a heavy favorite to land Hamilton, but now, according to SB Nation New York, the loss of head coach Greg Schiano to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have Rutgers slipping.
