4-star DL Deuce Geralds down to 10 schools
Suwanee (Ga.) Collins Hill four-star defensive lineman Deuce Geralds has trimmed his list of top schools down to 10, he told On3’s Hayes Fawcett on Wednesday.
Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss and Oregon have made the cut for the 6-foot-1, 275-pounder.
Geralds has gotten on the road to see some of his favorites this spring, including Clemson, Georgia Tech, FSU and Michigan. He’ll see more this month as he continues to whittle down his list.
Ole Miss is a school of note, as he’s the son of former Rebels DL Daverin Geralds. Head coach Lane Kiffin and the staff in Oxford are high on the list for the blue-chipper.
“I just love Ole Miss. As a little kid I used to always watch my dad play football at Ole Miss, I’ve still got little baby jerseys of Ole Miss with my dad’s name across the back,” Geralds told On3 at the end of December during Under Armour All-America week. “The fact that I have a legacy there, if I were to go there and leave my legacy, it would be a great way to carry on my career,” Geralds said.
Ole Miss, along with Miami and Ohio State, were tabbed as schools especially near the top of his list entering 2025.
“I’ve been to those three schools a lot, those coaches have been coming at me heavy, so I’ve got to see how that goes,” he said.

Clemson is one of the latest to get Geralds on campus, and that trip left a positive impression. Head coach Dabo Swinney and his staff have already made some noise this cycle and would love to add a player like Geralds in the mix.
“They did a great job diving deep into their program and letting me know what it takes to be a Clemson Tiger,” Geralds told On3’s Steve Wiltfong. “It was good to meet the new DC (Tom Allen) as well. He seems like a fiery guy and is very passionate.”
Geralds is the No. 72 overall prospect and No. 5 DL in the 2026 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 8 player in the Peach State.
As a junior for Collins Hill, one of the top programs in Georgia, Geralds racked up 114 total tackles and 13 sacks, per MaxPreps. The Eagles won 13 games in 2024 and finished as the No. 11 team in the state, according to the On3 Composite Rankings.
