The Canes landed a surging defensive tackle prospect with the commitment of Chaminade DT Donta Simpson.

He is the 19th commitment in the 2025 class, joining QB Luke Nickel, RB Girard Pringle, TE Brock Schott, TE Luka Gilbert, OT Demetrius Campbell, OT Jaden Wilkerson, OG TK Muex, OG Max Buchanan, OC SJ Alofaituli, WR Daylyn Upshaw, DE Herbert Scroggins, LB Gavin Nix, LB Elijah Melendez, LB Ezekiel Marcelin, CB Chris Ewald, Jr., CB Jaboree Antoine, DB Amari Wallace and DB Tim Merritt.
