2014 Fort Pierce Central linebacker Shareif Rhaheed Muhammad got his first chance to see Coral Gables last weekend and had quite the time.
“It was my first time going to Miami so it was a good experience. I was talking to coach Paul (Williams) and the linebackers Coach (Michael) Barrow. So it was real good.”
Muhammad has a large interest in the hometown hurricanes despite the fact that he is committed to LSU.
“The tradition, the ‘U Family’ , the pro players. It’s close to home and everybody from where I’m from likes Miami or Florida.”
Muhammad has taken a big liking to the Miami staff and has a tremendous amount of respect for them.
“I like that they came from a smalls school, they came from Temple. So that to me shows that they know how to coach you good. I like that they’re cool, they’re down to earth and they seem like they’re good people.”
The Fort Pierce Central star remains a pledge to LSU but is still planning on visiting other schools including USC, Louisville and then returning to Baton Rouge.
The 6’3 205 linebacker is still in search of an offer from Miami, but did say what it would take to force him to back out of his pledge.
“I just have to feel that Miami is better then LSU. Miami still hasn’t offered so until I get the offer I’m not thinking about them too much.”
When asked what he is looking for in a school, Muhammad has some big factors.
“The area, like the city is big for me since I have to stay there four to five years. A chance to play early, a family environment, a chance to win bowl games and a place I can fit in.”
