Delhomme Recruitment

Delhomme doesn’t have an official top schools list, but it’s clear programs like Alabama, Duke, Florida State, Michigan, Virginia Tech and West Virginia are making him a top priority for next cycle.

Michigan hosted Delhomme for the annual BBQ at The Big House at the end of July and made a huge impression on him and his family.

“I definitely enjoyed it a lot,” Delhomme said. “We saw the stadium and the campus, which was really nice. I like the coaching staff. We toured the facilities and the weight room. We went over nutrition and academics. It was a fun time.”

Delhomme is hoping to make a return visit to Michigan for a game at The Big House at some point this fall.

At 6-foot-1, 200 pounds, Delhomme is ranked as the No. 16 athlete and No. 285 overall prospect in the country, per On3. He is also ranked as the No. 7 overall recruit in the state of Virginia for next cycle.

Michigan currently has the lead for Delhomme on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine with a 64.7 percent chance of landing him. East Carolina is in second place with a 5.1 percent chance of landing him. Virginia is in third place with a 4.4 percent chance of landing him.

Michigan has two commitments in its 2025 recruiting class — Top 100 Miami (Fla.) Chaminade-Madonna defensive back Chris Ewald and four-star Howell (Mich.) High defensive lineman Bobby Kanka. The class is ranked No. 22 nationally, per the On3 Industry team recruiting rankings.
