Class of 2024 athlete Dahkari Gilley was offered by Rutgers football this week as the Florida safety pulls in his second Power Five offer.

Gilley, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound safety from University Christian (Jacksonville, FL), also holds a Power Five offer from Pittsburgh. His other offers are strong and include Liberty and Navy among others.

In 13 games last year, Gilley had 69 total tackles including a staggering 24.5 tackles for a loss.

He also registered four sacks and an interception during his junior year.

University Christian finished their season 11-3, winning their first two playoff games before losing to Clearwater Central Catholic in a tightly contested game.

Gilley tweeted about the offer on Tuesday night, tagging defensive coordinator Joe Harasymiak and Ramon Ruiz, the program’s director of recruiting:

What stands out about Gilley is his pursuit of the ball, playing as if his hair was on fire. Gilley is a physical and violent pursuer of the ball, who is comfortable coming off the edge and strong in run defense.

His style of play is a bit reminiscent of NFL All-Pro safety Jamal Adams.

The current Rutgers recruiting class stands at eight commitments. Last year, the program made a big splash in Florida, landing six players from the state as part of the 2023 recruiting class.
