2025 DL Earlier this week, Julius Columbus made his commitment to Duke known, exclusively to TheDevilsDen.com.
With five defensive players already added from the junior class, Duke Football is prioritizing the defensive end of the ball in their 2025 recruiting class. Defensive lineman Julius Columbus, the most recent recruit, chose the Blue Devils over many offers from other schools, citing excellent recruiting work done by DE Coach Harland Bower and other Duke coaching staff members as a major factor in his decision.
Columbus is a Gainesville, Georgia native who is 6’2″ tall and 286 pounds in weight. He is ranked as the 67th best player in the talented Peach State and the 57th top defensive lineman in the entire nation. In addition, he competes in track and field, where as a sophomore, he qualified for the regional championship in the shotput and discus.
