Signed: John Dunmore
WHAT HE DID: Dunmore began his varsity career at Cardinal Gibbons in Ft. Lauderdale in 2016. He transferred to American Heritage in Delray Beach before the start of the 2017 season and end up playing quarterback, receiver and defensive back for the Stallions. He transferred again in 2018, going to Chaminade-Madonna in Hollywood, where he totaled 53 receptions for 853 yards, scoring eight touchdowns. For his career, Dunmore racked up 2,363 yards of total offense.
WHAT HE WON: A three-year starter, Dunmore went 26-9 over the course of his career. In 2018, Chaminade went 12-2, winning the Florida Class 3A State Championship. Dunmore, who played in the Under Armour All-American Game in Orlando, Fla., earned first-team honors in USA Today's ALL-USA Florida team. He also participated in the Rivals Five-Star Challenge in Atlanta and The Opening Final in Dallas. Locally, Dunmore earned Broward County Super 11 honors and was first-team all-county in 2018. A member of the Rivals100, Dunmore sits at No. 92 overall. He’s the 14th-ranked wide receiver and the 14th-ranked prospect in Florida.
WHERE HE VISITED: Dunmore committed to Ja’Juan Seider and Florida in April 2017, only to open it up again in January 2018 when the Gators went through a coaching change. Florida State, Miami and Ohio State all earned unofficial visits from Dunmore, but it was his official visit to Penn State in June that changed everything. Michigan and Auburn also earned official visits before he ultimately committed to Penn State July 4th. However, late in the cycle, Dunmore gave Miami a serious look, visiting with Mark Richt and his staff multiple times in November. He also took an official visit to Coral Gables a few days before the early signing period opened, but ultimately signed with the Nittany Lions.
QUOTABLE: “Honestly, [Coach Seider] treats me like I’m his son more than a recruit. I know that if I ever needed to go to him about something, he would take care of me… So, the loyalty is pretty strong. He’s been recruiting me all the way since my freshman year, first at West Virginia, then Florida, now at Penn State. So, the relationship we have is pretty tight.”
