Donovan Hoilette Jr. #5

North Carolina · EDGE · Gr · 2027 Draft · West Palm Beach, FL · Palm Beach Central

6-4 · 245 lbs

Floor 4.0 · Ceiling 5.0

#2151 overall · #229 EDGE of 15096

Scouting Verdict

Hoilette is an All-Patriot League edge (6.5-9 sacks reported at Richmond in 2025) making the FCS jump. Rotational pass-rush juice at the FBS level; the production earns a modest grade but the competition jump and lack of pro track keep it honest.

Ceiling · 5.0

Projected 2026 starter (DL1) — real opportunity to climb; close to ceiling (+0.3) · up-year team · ACC draft-temper.

Floor · 4.0

Proven starter — high, stable floor · returning-starter role secures it; downside −0.7.

Pedigree

No composite recruiting rank on file.

Path: Richmond → North Carolina
