Listed at 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, Danitz’s build and athleticism has made major programs believe he could be ready to take his talents to a higher level. WVU is now clearly willing to provide that chance for him to jump to the Big 12 and the Power Four.

A source tells WV Sports Now that Danitz is scheduled to take an official visit to WVU.

He recorded 21 tackles for a loss and 15 sacks during the 2025 season for the Hope College Flying Dutchmen, a school he has been with for four years and initially committed to join out of high school in 2002.

The Michigan native even has two first-team All-American honors as a member of the track and field team as well. Danitz entered his name into the transfer portal on Jan. 6.

Cal, JMU, Louisiana Tech, Toledo, UCLA, Utah and Western Kentucky are just of the other Division I schools to offer Danitz to this point.
