4-star offensive lineman Daniel Calhoun sets commitment date

Roswell (Ga.) Walton four-star offensive lineman Daniel Calhoun is ready to take the final step in his recruitment.

On Thursday, Calhoun said he will commit on July 5 and will choose between Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas.

“I’m really still thinking about it,” he told On3. “I’m probably going to talk to my family tomorrow and see what they’re feeling like and what I’m feeling like. Development is key, I’m trying to make it to the NFL. And I just want a good relationship with the players and coaches.”

Calhoun took official visits with each of those five programs in the month of June, and they were key in helping him work toward a decision.

“It was really important,” he said. “I got to spend time with the coaches and players, pick their brains a little bit.”

Calhoun breaks down what he likes about each contender

Ahead of his decision, Calhoun quickly laid out what he likes about each of his top five schools.

Alabama: “I like the winning culture and development. Coach Saban and his staff produce really good offensive linemen.”

Auburn: “Coach Freeze, his teams are really good and he puts offensive linemen in the league.”

Georgia: “The winning culture and they put guys in the league.”

Tennessee: “The offense is crazy, fast-paced and I like that.”

Texas: “Coach Flood, he came from ‘Bama and he knows how to develop offensive linemen.”

The 6-foot-6, 365-pounder is the No. 115 overall prospect in the 2024 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 7 interior offensive lineman and the No. 17 recruit in Georgia.
